Located on the SE-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted faintly as an oval enclosure described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval field on the 1907 edition. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 65.7m NW-SE; 46.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (Wth 1.6-3.6m; H at W 2.3m). There is no visible fosse but there are modern gaps at SE (Wth c. 3m) and SW.
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.
