Located on the summit of a drumlin. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted here on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is a small grass-covered area (diam. c. 17m NE-SW) defined by a curve in the field bank N-E and traces of a fosse at S (Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1.4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.5m). The entrance may be a slight dip in the perimeter at SE.
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.
