The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a shelf towards the bottom of an E-facing slope, and just beyond the point where a N-S field bank on the E side changes direction to NNE-SSW. It is described as a ‘Site of fort’ on a revision of the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map dated 1858. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
Date of revision: 31 July 2017
