Recorded monuments

• MO025-022 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a low-lying NW-SE spur. It is described in gothic lettering as ‘Cloghaphooka ‘ – Cloch an Phúca, the ghost’s stone – only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This ruined monument is represented by three set stones incorporated in a mound (L 4.5m; Wth 6m). One of these (dims c. 1.1m x c. 0.2m; H c. 1.4m) at the S is a tall gable-shaped stone, perhaps a back stone. Some 3m to the N are two stones, possibly jambstones (H c. 0.35; 0.45m). The area between these has been recently dug out. The remains are insufficient for a closer classification. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018

• MO025-045 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on an E-facing slope. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures described in gothic lettering as a ‘Cashel’. It consists of an arc (Chord 45m NE-SW) of an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; max. H 1m) that survives E-SW and is visible on OSI aerial images (2000).
