Located towards the top of a S-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and an arc of hachures W-N-E connecting with a NE-SW field bank at SE is depicted on the 1907 edition. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 34.5m E-W; 34m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (at N: Wth 3.4m; H 0.5m) that is incorporated into a field bank E-SE. 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.
