The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of a small N-S drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 28m NE-SW; c. 26m NW-SE) defined by a broad but low earthen bank.
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.
