Located on top of a drumlin, with a NNE-SSW section of the River Blackwater c. 100m to the W. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as a small scrub-covered field on the 1907 edition. It was described as a small overgrown area defined by a field bank in 1967, and it is still visible as a slightly raised circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 30m) in improved pasture (OSAP 2005).
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.
