Located at the N end of a NNE-SSW 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 subcircular, grass and scrub-covered area (dims 43m E-W; 38m N-S) that is slightly domed and defined by an earthen bank (at NNE: Wth of base 3.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2.4m) and hedge that has almost disappeared NW-N. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. A farm track is outside the bank SW-WNW and there are old farm buildings outside the perimeter SE-SW.
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.
