What is recorded here
Situated on a local summit at the S end of a NNW-SSE ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 31m NNW-SSE; 28.8m ENE-WSWW) with rock outcrop defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (at WNW: Wth of base 4.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.6m) WNW-E-S and a scarp elsewhere (at SW: H 2.3m). There is no visible fosse but the bank is surrounded by a modern earth and stone wall NW-E-S and a farm lane skirts the base of the scarp S-W. There are gaps at NW and SSE used by machinery.
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.
