Located towards the top of the SE-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It is also represented as the SW half of a hachured enclosure on the 1907 edition. It survives as a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 25m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) defined by a slight earthen bank (at SE: Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) SE-S-NW. There is no visible fosse or evidence of the monument NE of a NW-SE field bank.
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.
