The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the most westerly of three summits on an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 35m NW-SE; 33m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank separated by a fosse from an external bank. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.4m) and outer (Wth 7.3m) banks and a causeway (Wth of top 4; H 1m) at SE.
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.
