Situated on the SW summit of a broad E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 29.6m NNW-SSE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1.5m), and an outer fosse (Wth of base 1.6-2.6m; ext. D 0.2m) WNW-E-S that has an outer field bank (at NW: Wth 1.4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m) outside it SW-N-NE. There is an entrance (Wth of base 1.4m) and causeway (Wth of top 1.9m) at N leading to a gap in the field bank, but there is also an entrance (Wth of base 1.5m) at S where the fosse is not evident.
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.
