The National Monuments Service's description

Located towards the E end of an E-W drumlin ridge. A rectangular enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NW-SE) is outlined lightly with double lines on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as an ‘Ancient Burial Ground’. This is depicted as within a large oval enclosure (dims c. 140m NW-SE; c. 110-125m NE-SW). The central feature has been removed without trace, but the outer enclosure is defined generally by a hedge at the top edge of a scarp (at NW: Wth 1.6m; H 2m) W-NE where there is a field bank at the base of the scarp.

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.
