Located on a small rise of rock outcrop (H c. 4m) in a fairly low-lying landscape. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an approximately circular overgrown area of rock outcrop (diam. c. 36-42m) with traces of an earthen bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.3m) on the perimeter at SW. The sides are scarped (H c. 1-2m) and there is a bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.5m) at the base of the scarp at SW. There is no visible entrance, but quarrying has taken place at SW.
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.
