The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of and at the N end of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular grass-covered and raised area (dim. of base c. 33m N-S; dims of top c. 28m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by a grass-covered scarp (at W: Wth c. 5m; H 1.9m) SE-W-NE that melds into the slope elsewhere. A berm (Wth c. 2-3m) separates the base of the scarp from a field bank SSW-W-NE, and aerial images (OSAP 1995, 2000) show a bank or hedge at the top of the scarp S-W.
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.
