A small, almost oval, flat-topped mound (dims 18m N-S; 31m E-W at base; H 4.5m) which has been quarried extensively at the NNE side and disturbed at the W and S by the building of a modern boundary wall. There is no evidence for a fosse or bailey and the immediate area around the mound has been intensively cultivated. A possible deserted medieval village (LH021-027001-) lies just to the W of the motte.
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.
