The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low NW-SE spur. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 41m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank, an outer fosse, and an outer field bank W-NE and by a low scarp elsewhere.
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.
