Recorded monuments

• MO012-023 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a NW-facing slope with a NE-SW stream c. 140m to the NW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 29.5m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) with apple trees defined by an earthen bank and a slight outer fosse E-WSW, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (at NW: Wth 1.4m; H 1.3m) and hedge elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified. 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

• MO012-024 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a steep-sided hill that was known as Carn Brae. The townland is called after a cairn that is recorded in the local folklore (IFC Schools’ MSS, 951, 287: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ) where it is described as covering a cist with bones and there were large stones at the head and foot of the cist. The bones were said to have been reburied at Magherarny Roman Catholic chapel c. 800m to the NNE, and the stones were used in mending the roads. There is no visible evidence of a cairn, but the field bank just to the N has stones and does curve a little. 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

• MO012-025 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated towards the top of the SW-facing spine of a NE-SW drumlin ridge.

It is visible as a slightly raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 28m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank and a slight curve in a NE-SW field bank at SE. There is no visible fosse or 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 29 January 2018
