The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a raised oval and grass-covered area (dims 35.2m E-W; 27.6m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen field bank SW-N, which is replaced by an overgrown stone wall elsewhere. Both forms of the perimeter are on an original scarp (H 1.1m at W to 2.5m at S), but there is no visible fosse. There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 2.7m) at SW.
The following 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.
