Situated at the summit of, and towards the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a raised, circular grass-covered area (diam. 46m E-W; 43.5m N-S) defined by a scarp (at S: Wth 2.9m; H 3m) with a wall and hedge on top NE-S-W that is reduced to a low, grass-covered scarp (at NW: H 0.4m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
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.
