Recorded monuments

• MO032-004001 Burial ground
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted faintly as trapezoidal feature (dims c. 20-4-m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) described in gothic lettering as a ‘Caldragh’ or ‘Ancient Burial Ground’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level, but there is a local tradition of bones and headstones being found during ploughing. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture but it is within an ecclesiastical enclosure (MO032-004003-), and the bullaun stone (MO032-004002-) is against the field bank just to the ESE. 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: 27 July 2017

• MO032-004002 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Located at the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin.

• MO032-004003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. A large enclosure (dims c. 150m N-S; c. 100m E-W) defined by field banks S-W-N and by a townaland boundary with Coolderry (par. Donaghmoyne) elsewhere is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map with a burial ground at the centre. The enclosure is a grass-covered area defined by a low grass-covered bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) or scarp S-W-N and by the field bank and townland boundary elsewhere. There is no evidence of the burial ground, but a bullaun stone (MO032-004002-) is at the field bank ESE of the centre. There is a local tradition that a St. Derrig had a monastery here, but this cannot be confirmed (Ó Riain 2011). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 July, 2017
