Located at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a summit on an E-W drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 49.5m NE-SW; 32m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank NNE-ENE that is largely reduced to an external scarp (at SE: H 2.3m) with some furze. There is an external fosse (at SE: Wth of top 2.8m; Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 1m) that is largely absent WSW-WNW because of the steep natural slope. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (MO018-037----) is c. 60m to the NE.
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.
