Situated just off the E end of an E-W drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 47m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) NW-N and a scarp (at E: H: 2.1m; at W: H 3m) and hedge elsewhere. There is an outer fosse (at NW: Wth of base 2.2m; ext. D 1m) NW-E-SE, and there are modernised entrance gaps at SE and S.
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.
