Situated towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 27m E-W; 25m N-S) with rock outcrop that slopes down slightly to the S (H 0.6m), which is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 4.6-6m; int. H 0.4m at N to 1.2m at S; ext. H 0.8m at S to 1.6m at N) with internal and external stone facing. There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 1.4m) at NW which is probably original. The ringfort (MO031-041----) is c. 200m to the NW, and raths (MO031-044----) and (MO031-045----) are c. 200m to the S and c. 180m to the ESE respectively.
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.
