The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just E of a summit on an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 38m E-W; 37.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H c. 0.3m generally to c. 1.2m at E; ext. H c. 3-3.5m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base c. 2.5m; D c. 0.7-1.2m) from an outer earthen bank that only survives NNW-E and is incorporated into a field bank SSW-N. An E-W depression (Wth 2.1m; D 0.4m), probably a drain crosses the interior. The entrance (Wth of base 3m) is at E.
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.
