Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 29m N-S) that slopes down markedly to the S and is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 3.2m; Wth of top 1.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) and outer fosse or drain (Wth of base 1.1m; ext. D 0.3m) NNW-NNE. The perimeter is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 1.9m; ext. H 1.3m; at S: H 1.3m) elsewhere, but it was incorporated into a field bank at S. The original entrance is not recognised.
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.
