The National Monuments Service's description
Located just off the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge on the S side. There is a local tradition of an underground passage that might be a souterrain SW of the centre of rath (MO025-043001-), but there is no physical evidence of this.
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.
