The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. There is a local report that a number of burials were uncovered in a sand-pit c. 1940 but it was not investigated. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, and the precise location is not certain.
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.
