The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of the SE-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is represented as an arc of hachures SE-SW only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. An arc of a grass-covered scarp (at S: Wth 4.5m; ext. H 1.45m) survives SE-SW (Chord c. 27m).
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.
