Located on a summit of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 42m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base c. 3m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H c. 2.8-3.5m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top c. 3-4m) from an outer earthen bank (Wth c. 4-5m; int. H 1-2.1m; ext. H c. 2.7-3.6m) and an outer fosse (at N: Wth of top c. 3m; ext. D 1.5m). There is a wide bank outside the outer fosse SW-NW with a farm lane outside it, while the outer fosse is replaced by a disused and overgrown farm lane SE-SW and by a field bank NE-SW. The original entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.4m) and outer (Wth of base 2.6m) banks is at ENE but there is no connecting causeway.
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.
