The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a drumlin. This location is marked only on a revision of the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map dated 1858 where it is described as ‘Site of fort’. No archaeological feature is visible, although part of the perimeter may be incorporated into a curving field bank W-NE.
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.
Date of revision: 26 January 2018
