The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a col with slightly higher ground c. 350m to the NW and a higher hill c. 500m to the SE, and with lower ground to the NE and SW. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, with a NNE-SSW field bank through its centre. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, although the field bank is still present.
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.
