Located towards the top of the SW-facing slope of the shoulder of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure describe as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a curving field bank SE-W-N on the 1907 edition. A scarp (H 1m) and hedge survives SE-W-N (Chord c. 40m) but the rest of the perimeter cannot be traced. There is no visible fosse.
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.
