Located on the summit and at the centre of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with no visible fosse. There are gaps in the perimeter at WSW, W and SSE (Wth of base 1.8m), but the last is likely to be the original entrance. The interior has been cleared of blackthorn since 1967 (Bing 2013). Archaeological testing (99E0270) c. 50m to the SW failed to produce any related material (Ó Drisceoil 2000).
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.
