Situated on the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This monument is marked as a circular enclosure on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793). It is depicted as a large circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map but it is not depicted on the 1907 edition. A NW-SE field bank bisects the location, but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
