Situated on top of a drumlin. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) 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’, and it is represented as a hachured feature incorporated into field banks on the 1907 edition. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 29.5m N-S; 26.4m E-W) defined by a field bank (at SE: Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) and hedge NW-E-SW, and by a grass-covered scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
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.
