Situated on a rise which is towards the SE end of a relatively low NW-SE ridge. It is depicted on McCrea’s map of Co. Monaghan (1793). This is a circular, domed (H 0.7-1.3m) and grass-covered area (diam. 50m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2m) W-NNE that is largely reduced to an overgrown scarp (at S: Wth 3.4m; H 2.3m) or incorporated into a field bank elsewhere. There is no visible fosse. There are gaps in the perimeter at W, NNE, and SSW, but the last may be the original entrance.
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.
