The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying area between drumlins to the W and E. An earthwork enclosure is depicted only on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) at Terrygeely. Its precise location is not known but no archaeological feature is visible on aerial images (OSI Google, Bing).
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.
