Located just off the crest of the S-facing slope of the broad summit of a drumlin. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 54m NW-SE; 45.5m NE-SW) that slopes down to the SE and is defined by an earthen bank W-NE and a scarp (H 0.6-1.2m) elsewhere. The perimeter is planted with a hedge SE-W-NW and the fosse (at NE: Wth of base 3.2m; D 0.4m) NW-NE is replaced by an outer field drain SE-W-NW. There is a modern gap at NNW but the original entrance is not identified.
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.
