Located towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 36m E-W; 34.5m N-S) that slopes down to the S and is defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.45m) that is largely reduced to an external scarp. There is an outer fosse (at NE: Wth of top 2.5m; Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.3m) W-NE that has been deepened W-N where it has an outer field bank. There are several gaps in the bank but the original entrance is not identified. Archaeological testing (06E1132) immediately to the N produced no related material (Roynane 2009).
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.
