Located in a low-lying area with a mill-race skirting the perimeter S-W and there was a large mill-pond immediately to the W. It is depicted as an oval wooded feature described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval hachured feature on the 1907 edition, by which time the mill-race and pond had been built. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 33.3m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by an earthen scarp (at W: Wth 1.4m; H 1.7m) and hedge. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
