Situated on the gentle N-facing slope of a small NW-SE ridge. This was described in 1967 (SMR file) as a raised subcircular grass-covered area (dims 43.5m ENE-WSW; 37m NNW-SSE) defined by an overgrown perimeter consisting of an earthen bank or scarp (at NE: Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 2m) separated by a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 6.4m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.6m) from an outer bank (at NE: Wth 3.5m; ext. H 2.9m). The outer bank was best preserved W-N-E but had been replaced by a field bank S-W. The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.8m) and outer (Wth of base 3.4m) banks with a causeway (Wth of top 2.5m) was at NNE. The rath had been removed by 1995 (OSI images) where it can be seen as a cropmark of a single fosse with internal and external banks.
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.
