Situated towards the top of the S-facing slope at the S end of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 34m NNW-SSE; 34m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 2.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.2m) with deciduous trees NW-ESE that has been re-formed SSW-W but is reduced to an external scarp elsewhere. There are traces of an outer fosse that has been widened into a water-hole E-SE and is converted into a lane with an outer field bank W-NW. The entrance (Wth of base 1.9m) is at NE, which is convenient to an old farmyard. The interior had become overgrown by 2000 (OSAP).
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.
