The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the NE shoulder of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a U-shaped hachured feature (dims c. 25m N-S; 25m E-W) open to the N only on the 1907 edition of the OS 25-inch map. A slight grass-covered mound is visible on aerial images (OSI 1995, 2005).
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.
