The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 25m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a scarp (at SSE: max. H 2.4m) and hedge, which incorporates a field bank on top of the scarp S-NW. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
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.
