The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a local rise. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38.6m ENE-WSW; 38m NNW-SSE) sloping down slightly to the NE, which is defined by an overgrown earthen bank S-W-N and a complete external fosse that is re-cut as a drain. There are gaps through the bank at N and SE but the original entrance is not identified. Rath (MO003-042----) is c. 120m to the S.
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.
