Located on the summit of a broad plateau and towards its E edge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40-42m) with some scrub defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 1m generally to 1.5m at S; ext. H 3-4m), with an outer fosse (Wth c. 3m; ext. D 0.3-0.6m) S-W-NE. The original entrance (Wth of base 3.5m) is at SE and there is a modern one at S. Inside the bank at N is a grass-covered depression (dims 14.2m N-S; 3.4m E-W; D 0.5m), which might be a collapsed souterrain although there is no evidence of stones.
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.
