Located in a NW-SE valley with a low hill c. 200m to the ENE and the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge is c. 300m to the WSW. This is a large, oval, raised and grass-covered area (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank and hedge WSW-NW and E-SSE, which is incorporated into a field bank and hedge NW-E but completely absent SSE-WSW. There is an external fosse (at NW: Wth of top 4.14m; Wth of base 2.4m; int. D 2.45m; ext. D 1m) NW-N-SE. There are several gaps in the bank but the original entrance (Wth of base 2.1m) and causeway (H 0.5m) are at NE.
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.
