Recorded monuments

• MO012-040 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘carn’. It is a low subrectangular grass-covered cairn (dims 16m NW-SE; 7.5m NE-SW) defined by fairly steep sides (at NE: Wth 0.5m H 0.7m) on all sides except the SW where there is a wider than usual NW-SE field wall (Wth of base 1.6m), and there is a NE-SW field wall just to the N. No structural stones are visible. 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

• MO012-041 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  Located on rock outcrop towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Cairnbaine Giant’s Grave’. This is probably a dual court-tomb incorporated into a trapezoidal cairn aligned ENE-WSW (L 36m; max. Wth 19m at E). The E tomb has the remains of a three-quarter court (L 6.5m; Wth 5.5m) with two façade stones to the N of the gallery. Two entry jambs surmounted by a lintel give access to a chamber (L 4m; Wth 1.7m). Beyond this, two segmenting jambs indicate a continuation of the gallery. At the opposite end of the cairn is a chamber (L 2.3m; Wth 1.2m) with double jambs open to the W. (de Valera 1960, 123). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
