Situated on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge at the NW end overlooking Lough Lisacullion, the E shore of which is c. 170m to the W. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m NNW-SSE; 29.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.5-6m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 2m) covered with blackthorn and furze, and an outer fosse or drain (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.2m) N-E. There are entrance gaps at SE (Wth of base 2m) and W (Wth 2m), but the original entrance is not identified. The interior was overlain by a NW-SE field bank towards the perimeter at NE in 1967, but it had become a farm lane after 2005 (OSAP).
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.
