Located on a slight shelf towards the top of the W-facing slope of NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. An embanked circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. Slight traces of a circular enclosure defined by a low bank were visible in 1942 (SMR file) and a grass-covered rise (diam. c. 27m) was still visible in 1968. It is faintly visible as a circular enclosure defined by two fosse features (ext. diam. c. 40m) is visible on OSI aerial images (1995).
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.
