Located on top of a hill with farm buildings immediately to the NE. It was described in 1968 (SMR file) as a raised and circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 35m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (at N: H 2m; at SW: Wth 4m; H 1.7m). The original entrance was not identified and there was no visible fosse as farm buildings abutted the base of the scarp N-E and it was skirted by a farm lane E-S-W. There was a field bank at the base of the scarp W-N. The interior was occupied by a large farm shed obliterating the S part of the monument by 1995 (OSAP) while the N part became paved.
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.
