Located at the crest of the N-facing slope of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge and c. 100m SW of Dungillick House. A complete circular enclosure defined by a field bank is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and a portion of an enclosure is shown on the 1907 edition. It is known locally as a fort and portion of the bank is preserved in a field bank SW-W-N (Chord 31m).
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.
