Situated towards the W end of a low E-W ridge in a low-lying landscape, and it is also in a loop of the W-E Mountain Water River with the stream c. 100-200m to the NW, SW and SE. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. There is no evidence of an antiquity apart from a slight curve (Chord c. 20m N-S) in a field bank that represents the W edge of the monument, but a NE-SW field bank traverses its interior.
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.
