Located on a SE-NW spur or ridge. This was described in 1967 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (at S: Wth of base 7m; Wth of top 1.5m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2.15m) NE-S-W and an outer fosse (at S: Wth of top 5.6m; Wth of base 2.4m; ext. D 1.5m) NE-S-SW, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (at ESE: H 2m) elsewhere. The bank formed the townland boundary with Tullynaskeath West to the E from NNW-SE. The entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) and causeway (Wth of top 2m) were at SW. The monument has been removed between 1967 and 1995 (OSI images). The rath (MO031-078----) is c. 70m to the NW.
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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
