Situated on an E-facing slope. This feature is known locally as a 'Caldragh', which signifies a burial ground, or a 'Mound'. It is an oval grass-covered mound (dims 38.5m E-W; 28m N-S) with traces of bank around the base. A rabbit burrow on the mound produced charcoal, thirty-six pieces of slag and part of possible crucible (Monaghan County Museum file).
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.
