The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a fold on the S-facing slope of a WNW-ESE spur. This enclosure is depicted on McCrea’s map of Co. Monaghan (1793). It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 54m N-S; 54m E-W), the S half of which slopes down to the S (H 2.4m). It is defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 7.2m; int. H 1.8m; ext. H 0.4m; at W: Wth of base 5m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 0.5m) WSW-N-E and by a scarp (at S: Wth 2.3m; H 2m) incorporated into an E-W field bank at S. It is cut by a NNW-SSE farm lane towards the perimeter at E. There is no visible fosse, or identifiable original entrance.
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.
