The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 28m NE-SW; 13m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 4.6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.7m) SW-NW-NE, and an outer fosse (at NW: Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3m) S-NW. A NE-SW field bank and townland boundary with Lisdrumturk to the SE bisects the monument and the perimeter is barely traceable SE of this feature. There is an old quarry inside the bank at NW.
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.
