The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a NE-facing slope, in a WNW-ESE valley. This is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims 35.8m E-W; 25m N-S) that slopes down to the E (H c. 3.5m). It is defined by a fosse (Wth of top 5.4m; Wth of base 2.4m; int. D 0.9m; ext. D 0.5m) SW-NW and a low bank (at S: Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.4m) or scarp (at E: H 0.6m) elsewhere. There is an entrance gap (Wth 3m) at SE and the monument is truncated by a WNW-ESE road bank at N.
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.
