Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular or D-shaped and grass-covered raised area (dims 34m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) defined by scarps (at W: Wth 3.2m; H 2.7m; at NW: Wth 4.2m; H 1m) with an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) incorporated into a field bank on the perimeter E-S. The perimeter is cut by a NW-SE field bank at NE, but there is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is now circumscribed by a farm track SE-W-NW and the interior is overgrown (Bing 2013). 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. Date of revision: 6 December 2017

By the time the 1907 edition was made the road looped around it just to the W as it does now. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a scarp E-S-W (at S: Wth 5.4m; H 1.3m) that melds into the slope elsewhere. It is visible on the OSI aerial images 2005 (OSAP). Rath (MO028-046----) is c. 200m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
