It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small irregular field on the 1907 edition. This is an oval overgrown area (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth c. 5m; H c. 1m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
