Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This was described in 1968 as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 49m E-W: 48m N-S) that sloped down slightly to the NE defined by an earthen bank incorporated in a field bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) S-NW with an outer fosse E-SW, and a scarp elsewhere. The entrance (Wth of base 4.8m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.4m; H 0.3m) were at E. The perimeter had been removed W-N-SE by 1995 (OSAP). Archaeological testing (18E0449) c. 30m to the S at the closest point produced no related material (Duffy 2018).
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.
