Situated just off the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge on the NE-facing slope. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as an arc of hachures NW-E-SE on the 1907 edition. A steep scrub-covered scarp (max. H 3.5m) survives NW-E-SE (diam. 35m NW-SE) which melds into the slope at either extremity, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere.
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.
