Recorded monuments

• MO030-007 Earthwork
  Description

  Located at the SE end of a fairly low but long NW-SE ridge. It is depicted as a large enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m), perhaps with two banks or a single wide bank, on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval enclosure (ext. dims c. 60m NW-SE: c. 50m NE-SW) with two banks or perhaps an inner platform on the 1907 edition. It was quarried for gravel c. 1965, and it is not certain if any archaeological features remain 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: 24 August 2017

• MO030-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the summit of a drumlin. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of Co. Monaghan (1793). It is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 53m NNW-SSE; 40m ENE-WSW) defined by two overgrown earthen banks and fosses. The inner, round-topped, bank (Wth of base 7-8.5m; int. H 1.6-2m; ext. H 1.2-2m) has a slight berm or break in slope externally before an outer, flat-bottomed and water-logged fosse (Wth of top 11.5-15m; Wth of base 4m; ext. D 2-2.5m). The outer bank is wide and flat-topped (Wth of base 14m; Wth of top 5-8m; ext. H 1.2-2m). An outer fosse or drain (Wth of top 4m; Wth of base 2.5m; int. D 1.5m; ext. D 1.5m), separated from the outer bank by a slight berm or break in slope, survives SE-W-NNE (max. ext. diam. 110m NNW-SSE). The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.2m) and outer (Wth of base 3.1m) banks with a causeway (Wth of top 2m; H 1.4m) is at E. The interior has a number of quarry holes (D 1-1.2m), but one L-shaped depression inside the bank at NW could be a souterrain (MO030-008001-). 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: 24 August 2017
