Located at the tip of a short N-S spur on the S side of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 37.5m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base c. 4m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.7m) and an outer fosse, with an outer field bank SSW-N-E. The entrance (Wth of base 2.5m) is at SE. By 1995 much of the perimeter had been removed W-N-S (OSAP). Archaeological testing (98E0499) for the line of an E-W water pipe c. 50m N of the monument produced no related material (Byrne 2000).
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.
