Located on the broad summit of a drumlin. An oval enclosure (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) is depicted faintly on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as an arc of hachures NE-S-SW on the 1907 edition. Traces of the perimeter survive in a scarp (Wth 3m; H c. 1.2m) incorporated in a field bank and hedge E-SW (Chord c. 30m), but there is no other surface evidence of the monument.
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.
