Situated on top of a hill. This was described in 1968 as a raised and slightly dished (int. D 0.3m) grass-covered subcircular area (dims 39m NNW-SSE; 32m ENE-WSW) that sloped down slightly to the S. It was defined by a broad bank or scarp (Wth 3.5-4m; H 1.8-2m) and hedge, with an outer fosse best preserved N-E and SW-NW (Wth of top 7m; D 0.3m). There is a large entrance (Wth c. 3m) at SSE. It was surrounded by a field bank NNW-ESE. The hedge had been removed by 1995 (OSAP) and the defining features have become less distinct since then (Bing 2013).
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.
