The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a S-facing slope and on the N bank of a SW-NE section of the River Lagan. This is a subrectangular grass-covered area (dims 28.5m NW-SE: 26.5m NE-SW) sloping down to the SE (H 2m), which is defined by overgrown earthen banks (at W: Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.65m) SW-N-NE, reduced to a scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, and while there are gaps in the perimeter at WSE, W and NE, but the original entrance is not identified.
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.
