What is recorded here
Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin ridge overlooking the E shore of Lough Nagarnaman, which is c. 200m to the W. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 37.3m NW-SE; 34m NE-SW) that slopes down to the SE (H 2.8m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.6m at SE to 1.1m at NW; ext. H 1.5m generally to 2.4m at SW) with some internal and external facing-stones and a hedge. There is no visible fosse but the entrance at S (Wth of base 2.2m) is probably the original one.
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.
