Situated on a local summit on a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This rath is represented on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a subcircular overgrown area (dims 39m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by an earthen bank and external fosse or a wide berm separating the bank from a field bank that surrounds the rath. There are large gaps in the perimeter at SSE, W and NW 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.
