The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a drumlin. A subrectangular earthwork (dims c. 50m NNE-SSW; c. 50m WNW-ESE) is depicted here on a revision of the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map that is dated 1858, and a subcircular enclosure is suggested by a curving field bank N-E-S (diam. c. 50m). The field bank is extant but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
