Situated on a peninsula (max. dims c. 725m NW-SE; c. 200m NE-SW) jutting into the S part of Muckno Lough from the SE. It is depicted as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as an oval enclosure in woodland on the 1907 edition. Faint traces of an oval enclosure are visible in pasture on OSI aerial photographic images (1995, 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.
