Recorded monuments

• MO009-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad N-S ridge. This was described in 1968 as a raised subcircular area (dims 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by slight traces of an earthen bank NNW-E and a scarp elsewhere separated by a fosse from an outer earthen bank, which was incorporated into a field bank SE-W-NE. The entrance (Wth of base c. 3m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.4m; H 0.65m) were at ESE. This monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP), apart from the outer field bank ESE-SW. 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: 12 December 201

• MO009-059 House - 17th century
  Description

  Situated in a slight N-S valley with drumlins rising to the E and W. According to Shirley (1879, 160-1) Robert Maxwell, who had been chaplain to Henry Carew, first Viscount Faulkland and Lord Deputy of Ireland 1622-29 was the ancestor of Maxwell families at College Hall and Fellows Hall in Tynan parish, Co. Armagh and at Falkland in Donagh parish, Co. Monaghan. The land at Falkland, which had been called Drumnaghmore, was acquired under lease from the Glaslough estate early in the reign of Charles II and was bought back by Glaslough in 1871. William Maxwell, High Sherriff of Monaghan, was murdered by one of his own followers at Faulkland in 1691. The house was probably built in the late seventeenth century, but it seems to have been abandoned after 1780 when the Maxwells moved to Bath. It is depicted as a house owned by R. D. Maxwell on the 1783 Taylor and Skinner map of the Roads of Ireland (Andrews 1969, 267) and some walls of the house still survive. A stone head (MO009-077----) attached to the external front wall of a derelict farmhouse on the E side of Monaghan town is believed to have originated here (pers. comm. Shirley Clerkin, Monaghan Heritage Officer). Date of revision: 14 December 2017
