Situated on top of a drumlin. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793). It is a raised, circular, grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 44m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.15m) and traces of an outer fosse (Wth c. 1.5m) that has been re-cut as a drain with an outer bank N-E. The original entrance is not identified and the perimeter is slightly truncated by a NE-SW field bank E-S.
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.
