The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a slight col. Described by Oliver Davies as a small square enclosure that was known locally as the graveyard field where bones had been found (ITA Survey 1940). There was no evidence of any structure and its precise location is not known. (Leslie 1929, 290)
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.
