Situated on a local prominence towards the SE end of an NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular overgrown area (dims 32m NE-SW; 27.2m NW-SE) that slopes down slightly to the SE (H 1.8m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5.6-7.6m; int. H 0.7-1.4m; ext. H 1.9-2.4m), and an outer rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.2m; ext. D 0.2m) ESE-W with traces of it elsewhere. The inner face of the bank is stone-lined SW-NNW, which is probably modern. A field bank, now removed, approaching from the NW incorporated the bank in an outer stone facing NW-ENE. There is an entrance (Wth of base 1.7m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.1m; H 0.4m) at SSE.
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.
