The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the SW-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) that has a large opening (Wth c. 10m) at SE is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVG 85, 86) dating from c. 1973. It is also visible on Google Images (19/03/2015). The small enclosures (MO033-007----) and (MO033-008----) are c. 50m to the WNW and c. 40m to the NE respectively.
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.
