Recorded monuments
- MO029-009001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located on a low rise in a low-lying undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dim. 30m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) and hedge, which was incorporated into a field bank with external stone facing NW-NNE. There is no visible fosse, and the entrance (Wth of base 2.5m) is at ENE where some rock outcrop is exposed. There is a local tradition of a cave in the interior, which may be a souterrain. 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: 28 August 2017
- MO029-009002 Souterrain
Description
Located on a low rise in a low-lying undulating landscape. There is a local tradition of a cave in the interior of rath (MO029-009001-), which may have been a souterrain. 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: 28 August 2017
- MO029-015 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a rise on a gentle S-facing slope. This is an oval or D-shaped and grass-covered platform (dims 34.6m NW-SE; 25.8m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at SE: Wth 2m; H 0.8m; at NW: Wth 2.6m; H 1.6m) with some bushes on the perimeter ESE-S-NW, which is cut by a NW-SE road bank at NE. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but slight traces of the inner edge of a bank are intermittently visible. 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: 29 August 2017
- MO029-016 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a rise on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a raised subcircular platform (dims 25m N-S c. 22m E-W) with rock outcrop rising at the W edge defined by an earthen bank (at E: Wth of base 5.6m; Wth of top 1.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.4m) ENE-S that is incorporated into a field bank and hedge NNW-ENE and largely reduced to a scarp (at W: Wth 3.4m; H 1.8m) elsewhere. A farm laneway skirts the perimeter WNW-NNW. There is no visible fosse and a ramp rises obliquely up the scarp at ESE. A sunken rectangular area (dims 3.3m x 3.1m; D 0.3m at S) inside the perimeter at S is probably an old quarry. 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: 29 August 2017
