  Situated on top of a hillock. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 23.2m NNE-SSW) defined by a largely overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 2.6-3.6m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 0.4m at NNE to 1.3m at SSW) with an internal stone facing that creates a rather flat top (at NNE: Wth 2m). There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth of base 2m) is at ESE.

• MO027-060 Burial ground
  Description

  Located on a S-facing slope. The townland name ‘Shankill’ is derived from the Gaelic ‘Sean Cille’ – the old graveyard, and there is a folk tradition (IFC Schools’ MS, vol. 940 39, 61: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes) that there was a church and graveyard at this location, which was destroyed during the Penal period. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).

• MO027-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on the steep NW-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge.

It is also known locally as a fort, but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, although it is possible that part of the perimeter could be respected by or incorporated into straight sections of field bank that change from a N-S direction at N to NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
