Located on a SE-facing slope. A circular enclosure is depicted here at Knockreagh Lower on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793), and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 34m NW-SE; 31.5m NE-SW) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank that is largely reduced to an overgrown scarp (at SSW: H 2.5m), with a field boundary on top of it N-E. The monument is cut slightly by a NE-SW field bank and hedge at SE (L c. 20m). There is no visible fosse and 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.
