The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a short NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular or D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m) and hedge with an outer stone-facing and traces of an inner one. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth of base 2m) is at SE. It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (digitalglobe c. 2013).
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.
