Situated on a rise on the SE-facing spine of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is an oval grass and fern-covered area (dims 35m NNW-SSE; 28m ENE-WSW) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by an earthen bank separated by a fosse or berm from an outer earthen bank, which is largely incorporated into a field bank. There is an entrance (Wth at base 1.7m) in the inner bank at SE. Field banks from NNW; ENE; SSE and SW converge on the centre. 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: 12 December 2017

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
