The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low N-S spur with a small S-N stream c. 30m to the E. A small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 15m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. The location is now occupied by a house and farm buildings.
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.
