Recorded monuments

• MO020-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the summit of a small N-S drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted here only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ’fort’. This is a grass-covered area (diam. 31m E-W; 27.5m N-S) defined by the vegetation mark (Wth 3m) of a fosse NW-E-SE and a curved field bank elsewhere. There is no indication of an entrance. 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: 22 June 2018

• MO020-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small hillock in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) with trees is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ’fort’. This is a circular area (diam. 30.5m E-W; 30m N-S) planted with deciduous trees which is defined by an earthen bank (at E: Wth of base 2.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) that has an outer stone facing N-S-W, but the bank is reduced to a stone-faced scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. This is probably a rath that has been re-used as a tree-ring. 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: 22 June 2018

• MO020-010 Crannog

No structural features were evident, but charcoal and animal bones were visible on the crannog’s shore. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
