Located on a slight rise. This is a circular grass and rush covered area (int. diam. 33m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.6-6m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 0.8m at NE to 1.9m at SW), with a fosse surviving E-SSE that widens into a pool S-SW, which may be modern. There is an entrance (Wth 2.5m) and causeway (Wth of top 3m), probably modern, at SW, but a gap (Wth 2.5m) at N is more likely to be original. The perimeter is incorporated into a field bank N-E. Farm sheds abutted the bank at SE in 1967 but a shed was built on the perimeter at S before 1995, and the interior is now scrub-covered.
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.
