Located on a S-N spur on a N-facing slope down to Lough Dermot, the S end of which is c. 130m to the N, with a severe slope down immediately to the E. This is a subcircular overgrown area (dims 24m N-S; 21.5m WNW-ESE) defined by an earth and stone bank (at WNW: Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) that is reduced to a scarp (Wth 10m; H 4m) NE-SE, which might be largely natural. There is no visible fosse and the entrance is a wide gap (Wth of base 2.7m) at S, on the natural approach to the monument. It is cut by a N-S field bank towards the perimeter at W.
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.
