The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise on a SE-facings slope c. 140m NW of the NW angle of Moylan Lough. This is a grass and scrub-covered subcircular area (dims 34.6m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (at W: Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m) with traces of an outer rounded fosse (at W: Wth of top 4.6m; ext. D 1m) SW-NNW, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 1m; H 1m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identifiable. Rath (MO028-073----) is c. 60m to the 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.
