Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted here on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. A curving field bank NE-S (Chord c. 25m) and hedge survive which respect the enclosure or incorporate part of the original bank of what is known locally as a ‘fort’.
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.
