Situated on the SW summit of a NE-SW drumlin. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims c. 50m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at NNE: Wth of base 3.9m; int. H 0.4m ext. H 1.7m), which is best preserved (at S: Wth ova base 6.6m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 2.1m) SE-SW where there is no visible fosse but the base of the scarp is skirted by a field bank. The defining bank has a hedge, and there is an outer fosse (at NNE: Wth of top 3.3m; Wth of base 1.1m; ext. D 0.45m) SW-NNE. There are many gaps in the perimeter but the most likely original entrance (Wth of base 1.6m) is at E.
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.
