The National Monuments Service's description
Located just E of one of the summits of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 29m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) that slopes down to the SE. It is defined by an earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 2.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with an outer drain. The entrance (Wth of base 1.5m) is at SE.
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.
