Occupying the summit of a small drumlin. This monument is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure defined by field banks but which is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 95m NE-SW; 64m E-W) defined by a scarp varying in dimension from NE (Wth 2.6m; H 1.1m) to W (Wth 2m; H 1.45m), with a field bank and hedge outside the scarp SW-W-NE, and E-ESE but the scarp supports the hedge elsewhere. There is no visible fosse but there is a broad entrance (Wth c. 8m) at ESE.
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.
