Situated on a steep S-facing slope in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. This was described in 1967 as a broad oval or D-shaped and overgrown area (dims 55m WNW-ESE; 38m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.7m) and an outer flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 6.6m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.6m) SW-N-E backing onto a steep slope (H 4.3m) down to an E-W road at S. There was an entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) at ENE. The visible monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). Archaeological testing (05E1064) c. 40m to the SE on the other side of the road produce no related material (Duffy 2008).
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.
