Situated on top of a hillock. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 23.2m NNE-SSW) defined by a largely overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 2.6-3.6m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 0.4m at NNE to 1.3m at SSW) with an internal stone facing that creates a rather flat top (at NNE: Wth 2m). There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth of base 2m) is at ESE. There is a rectangular house site (ext. dims 9.7m NE-SW; 8.3m NW-SE) defined by earth and stone banks (Wth 1.6m; max. H 0.5m) at the centre, with entrance gaps at NW (Wth 1.4m) and SE (Wth 1.6m).
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.
