The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins. A circular earthwork is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) south of the W-E road from Drumlusty. It is not marked on later OS maps but the monument is visible as a vegetation mark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single fosse feature on aerial images (OSAP 1995).
