Located towards the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 26.4m NNW-SSE; 26.4m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (at NNW: Wth of bank 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) with some bushes , and an outer fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 2.4m; Wth of base 1.7m; int. D 2.3m; ext. D 0.4m) N-SE. There is an entrance gap at SE that has been widened (Wth of base 3.4m) but which is probably original. A NNW-SSE field bank that was just to the W has been removed since 1995 (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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
