What is recorded here
Situated on the central of three summits on an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 25m) defined by a slight bank with some bushes that is largely reduced to a scarp (at S: H 1.6m), with traces of an external fosse at WNW. The original entrance is not identified, but an outer bank was recorded in the 1940s (SMR file). There is a NE-SW field bank just 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.
