Located on the E-facing spine of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 31m WNW-ESE; 21m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 4.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H c. 3m) W-NE and E-S that is largely reduced to an overgrown scarp. There is an outer berm SSE-WSW that morphs into a farm lane WSW-WNW. The ramp entrance (Wth at base 2.4m) is at E. From the centre a depression (L 14m; Wth 3.9m; D 0.5m) extends S to a gap in the perimeter at SSW with a spur (L 8.4m; Wth 3.9m; D 0.6m) extending W from it just inside the bank. This is possibly a souterrain, although no stone is visible.
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.
