Situated on a SW-facing slope. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30-35m) and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was described In 1968 as a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 42m N-S; c. 35m E-W) that sloped down to the S defined by a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1.8m; int. D 1.45m; ext. D 1.1m) NNE-ENE that was reduced to a low scarp at SSW. No entrance feature was noted. It has become completely overgrown with furze since 1968 (OSAP).
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.
