Situated on a col with valleys to the S and E and higher ground to the SE, and SW-N-NE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 33m WNW-ESE; 31.2m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (at NE: Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.8m; ext. H 1.5m) and hedge W-N-SSE, which is almost reduced to an external scarp (at SW: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 3m) elsewhere. There is an outer fosse (at SW: Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.6m) E-SW, and there are entrances at SE (Wth 4.3m) and NW (Wth 4.7m), both of which appear to be modern.
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.
