Located at the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as an arc of hachures at the W side of an enclosure on the 1907 edition. It was described in 1967 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.5m; Wth of top 1.6m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-NW and by a slight scarp elsewhere. There was no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The bank has since eroded away (Bing 2013).
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.
