The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a broad SE-NW ridge or spur in a low-lying landscape with a small E-W stream curving around the point on the N side and turning S into a mill-pond. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 4.3m) defined by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 4.2-4.5m; int. D 0.5-0.6m; ext. D 0.9-1m) and an outer bank (Wth of base 4.5-5.6m; ext. H 0.4-0.7m) with bushes (max. ext. diam. 18.6m NW-SE). There is a causeway (Wth of top 1.2m; H 0.6m) and entrance (Wth 2.6m) through the bank at WNW marked by stones.
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.
