The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28.5m NW-SE; c. 14.6m NE-SW) defined by a grass and scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m) with some trees SE-W-NW. There is no visible fosse or entrance, and the monument is truncated by a NW-SE road at NE.
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.
