A circular flat-topped mound (diam. c. 19m; H c. 2m) enclosed by a fosse (max. Wth 11m at rim, 6m at base, D c. 0.8m). It is sited on the summit of an E-W ridge, has steep sides and has a modern revetment wall built up against its base. The NE side of the mound appears to have been scarped in relatively recent times, probably at the time of the building of the revetment wall. There is no evidence for a bailey.
The above 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.
