The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Situated on the summit of a low NW-SE ridge and consisting of an almost square area (38m NW-SE by 37.5m NE-SW) enclosed by two well-defined banks and intervening fosse (Wth at base on inner bank c. 10m at NW, int. H 1m, ext. c. 2.3m, fosse max. Wth at NW 7m, Wth at base of outer bank 4.5m at NW, int. H 1.9m, ext. 0.6m). There is a well defined entrance, probably modern, at the SW with a causeway across the fosse. The interior of the enclosure is slightly higher than the level of the surrounding land. The inner bank is best perserved at the NW and NE; elsewhere it is defaced to varying degrees. The outer bank is fairly slight, especially on either side of the entrance. The banks contain a large amount of stone and may possibly have been partially stone-faced.
