Situated just off the S-facing crest of a broad drumlin. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 32m N-S; 32m E-W) that slopes down steeply to the S (H 3.5m) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth of base 5.2-8m; int. H 0.1m at SW to 1m at NE (upslope); ext. H 0.6m at NE to 1.3m at SW) that is covered in furze. A relict N-S field bank overlies the interior connecting with field banks outside approaching from the N and S. There is no visible fosse and the entrance gaps at W and NE are probably modern 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 30 January 2018
