The name itself is intriguing. It suggests a personal association, perhaps a local family or landowner whose identity has since dissolved into the Monaghan countryside, leaving only the earthwork and the designation behind.

What survives is a roughly circular enclosure, approximately 53 metres across at its widest, defined by an earthen bank and an outer fosse, which is simply a defensive ditch dug around the perimeter. On the southern side the bank is still substantial, nearly two and a half metres in external height, with the fosse alongside it retaining a measurable depth. On the northern side the character of the monument changes: there the outer ditch has largely silted or eroded away, leaving only a low scarp and a flat berm, a narrow level terrace, to indicate where it once ran. Along the eastern and south-south-western arc, the old bank has been absorbed into a working field boundary, hedge and all, which is how a great many such earthworks survive in Irish farmland, folded into the practical geometry of later agriculture. A slight dip in the perimeter at the north-west may mark the original entrance, though it reads as little more than a subtle interruption in the grass line. Whether this is a ringfort, a later enclosure, or something else entirely, the available evidence does not firmly settle.
