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.

Oval area (int. dims. 58m NE-SW, 41.5m NW-SE) enclosed by much-degraded earthen bank (c. Wth 5m, H 1.8m externally) now almost levelled to the interior with possible entrance gap (Wth 2m) at WNW. External drystone masonry facing on the bank suggests that the bank has been incorporated in the modern field system. No visible trace of fosse. Interior of site badly disturbed by cultivation ridges.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
