Located at the summit of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 43.5m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a scarp and hedge (at W: H 1.6m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and the perimeter is probably truncated by a NW-SE field bank at W.
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.
