It is defined by a scarp (at SW: Wth 4m; H 2m) with some bushes, but N-ESE the scarp is in improved grass (at NE: Wth 8.4m; H 3.4m). There is no visible fosse or 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. Date of revision: 11 December 2017
