Located at the highest point of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. At that time it was bisected by a NW-SE field bank and another field bank approached the perimeter from the SW. The visible portion NE of the NW-SE field bank had been removed by 1907 and the perimeter W-N had been altered into a straight field bank. However, a portion of the defining earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) and an outer fosse or drain (Wth of top 3.6m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.3m) survives SE-S.
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.
