The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the top of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge on the E side. A curve in a field bank NE-S indicates the rath, but the field bank had been removed. Nevertheless a slightly raised circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 27m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by a broad but slight is visible in pasture.
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.
