- MO012-026 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated at the E end of an E-W ridge. It was described in 1968 as an overgrown oval area (dims c. 39m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 3m) with an outer stone facing. There was no visible fosse but it is surrounded by a road E-SW. There was damage or what might have been an entrance (Wth of base 5m) in the perimeter at NE. In 1996 the W part of the monument was removed and the topsoil of the remainder disturbed, so that it is now reduced to a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m N-S; 21m E-W; H 2m). 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 29 January 2018
- MO012-027 Crannog
Description
Located in Coaghen Lough which is depicted as a sub-triangular lough (dims c. 200m N-S; c. 200m E-W) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, but the lake is now reduced to an L-shaped feature with the crannog in a circular N section (diam. c. 100m). This is an overgrown clay island (dims 17m E-W; 15m N-S; H 0.4m over the water) with deep water within 5m of its edge. Erosion of the surface reveals a matrix of small stones and clay with charcoal and animals bones. Four small piles and a horizontal plank were also observed. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 29 January 2018
