Located at the crest of the S end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured D-shaped feature surviving SW of a NW-SE field bank on the 1907 edition. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 32m NW-SE; 12m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) with some scrub S-NW. There is no visible fosse and the remainder of the perimeter cannot be traced NE of the NW-SE field bank. Rath (MO031-016----) is c. 120m to the NW. 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: 28 July 2017
