Situated on the SW-facing slope of a low NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘fort’ with field banks approaching it from NE, SE and NW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 11m; 10.5m N-S;) defined by a scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth of base 2.8-3m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.7m at N to 1.1m at S) with an outer fosse (at N: Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.2m) NNW-NE that has been incorporated into a recent drain (at S: Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1.8m; ext. D 0.6m) elsewhere . There is a large tree-stump at the centre, and there are gaps in the bank at N, E, SE and SSW, none of which need be original. The equally small enclosure (MO033-007----) is c. 100m to the ENE while the cropmark enclosure (MO033-008----) is c. 50m to the ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).

Situated on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge towards the NW end. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘fort’ with field banks approaching it from NE, NW and SW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 12m) defined by an earthen bank (at NE: Wth at base 4.6m; int. H 0.4ml; ext. H 1.5m) with some scrub, but material has been added to the perimeter S-NNW. There is no visible fosse or entrance. The equally small enclosure (MO033-006----) is c. 100m to the WSW while the cropmark enclosure (MO033-008----) is c. 40m to the SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
