Monument placed on the Register of Historic Monuments on the 01/03/1984. Extract from Iris Oifigiúil 10th April 1984.
Situated on top of a natural ridge with good views in all directions, stream 70m to N and River Brosna 430m to W. Depicted as a circular-shaped enclosure with some tree planting / landscaping around the perimeter of the monument on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. House 40m to NNE that is annotated as Mount Lynn House on the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. Lynn House located 145m to SSE. Sometime between 1837 and 1911 the N perimeter of the monument has been cut into by the landscaping of Mount Lynn House and the E and S edges of the monument have also been cut into by the construction of field boundaries and a pavilion.
Present remains consist of a large roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 46m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp with wide flat-bottomed fosse and traces of an external bank best visible from S-W-WNW. No entrance feature visible. The interior rises considerably towards the centre following the natural slope of the hillock on which the monument stands.
