The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It was described in 1945 (SMR file) as a curve of a bank (ext. H c. 0.6m; int. H c. 0.9m) with an internal ditch or fosse (Wth of base c. 0.3m) and a slightly domed interior that was truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at E. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture (OSAP).
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.
