Located on the NW-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ and as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. No archaeological feature was visible at ground level in 1967 in an overgrown area, but this had been cleared by 2005 (OSAP).
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.
