The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a shelf on a N-facing slope. It is not depicted as a rath on any map but it was described c. 1940 as a subcircular area (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 33m N-S) defined by a stony bank (Wth c. 1m; H c. 0.6m) and hedge E-S-W with no visible fosse (SMR file).
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.
