Situated towards the N edge of an undulating plateau with rock outcrop and stone field walls. An oval embanked enclosure is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as an oval field on the 1907 edition. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 51m E-W; 36.5m N-S) defined by a drystone wall, incorporating an older wall (Wth of base 2.3m; Wth of top 0.9m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.3m) at NE. 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.
