The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This feature is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped area truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NE. This is a small subcircular or D-shaped area (dims 23m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) sloping down the NE, which is planted in coniferous trees and defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.3m; Wth of top 1.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.65m) SE-W-NW. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and the monument is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NE.
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.
