Recorded monuments

• MO031-054 Souterrain
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. The souterrain was known locally since the 1920s but was recorded in 1984 when it came to attention because of a partial collapse. The original entrance was inaccessible but the passage led N through a narrow point (Wth 0.45-0.5m) and turned E (L 3.5m; Wth c. 0.5m; H 0.8 at W to 1.25m at E) where it opened out (Wth 0.9m; L 1.5m; H 1.25m) with an opening (Wth 0.25m; H 0.6m; L 0.25m plus) to the N that might have led to another blocked passage. The main passage continued E and broadened into a slightly wider chamber where the collapse occurred (total accessible L 8m). The souterrain is now closed. (Buckley 1986) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 1 September 2017

• MO031-055 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise on the lower SE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 30m N-S) that slopes down to the S (H 2.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) NW-N that is reduced to an overgrown scarp (at S: Wth 5m; H 2m) elsewhere. The perimeter is truncated N-SE by a NW-SE field bank. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 31 July 2017

• MO031-056 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. It is depicted as an arc of an earthen bank (Chord c. 20m) at the E edge of an embanked enclosure and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is represented as an arc of hachures on the 1907 edition. An overgrown N-S mound (L 14.5m; Wth of base 7.2m; Wth of top 2.5m; H 0.65m at N to 1.1m at E), which is probably the spoil from the monument, remains. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 31 July 2017
