Located on a slight shelf just off the crest of an ENE-WSW ridge on the SE side in an area known as ‘White Rath’. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible now in pasture, but slight traces of a fosse were detectable in 1942 (SMR 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.
