Located at the crest of the S-facing slope at the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a small embanked enclosure described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 31m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by traces of an earthen bank with an external fosse that are incorporated into a field bank and outer drain ENE-S-WSW while the perimeter is reduced to a slight scarp elsewhere. The entrance is not identifiable.
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.
