Situated on a shelf that is on a gentle SE-facing slope overlooking Graghlone or Beagh Lough, an oval lake (dims c. 630m N-S; c. 360m E-W), the W shore of which is c. 150m distant. It is depicted as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m NW-SE: c. 25m NE-SW) described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A fragment of an earthen bank (Wth of base 2.75m; Wth of top 0.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.1m) with some bushes survives at NW, but it is reduced to a scarp at NE (H 1.1m) (Chord 31m). There is no visible fosse and the rest of the perimeter cannot be traced.
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.
