Description
Situated on a rise with rock outcrop at the bottom of a S-facing slope. This was described in the 1940s as ‘a small mound of stones about 8 feet across and not more than 2 high (c. 2.45m; c. 0.6m), bounded by a kerb of rather large stones. Towards the north side of the mound stands a quarried block with rather sharp edges, 3’ x 1’ 8” x 4’ 6” high (c. 0.9m; c. 0.5m; c. 1.35m)’ (SMR file). 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: 21 June 2018
