The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a short NE-SW summit on a NE-SW drumlin ridge. A D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) truncated by an E-W road at N is depicted as a hachured feature only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A modern dwelling occupies the interior and a scarp (H 1.5-1.8m) survives SE-SW but there is no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
