Located on the steep NW-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted at this location only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic script as a ‘fort’. It is also known locally as a fort, but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, although it is possible that part of the perimeter could be respected by or incorporated into straight sections of field bank that change from a N-S direction at N to NE-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.
