At 133m OD it is a relatively low hill ..., but its strategic location ... has given it added archaeological and historical significance.

This is one of the great historical sites of north Louth, scene of several incidents in the Tain Bo Cuailgne, the archaeology of which indicated remnants of an Iron age hill fort, an early Christian ecclesiastical foundation associated with St. Brigid, a Norman motte- castle and a medieval church ruin. St. Brigid's well can be found in the graveyard.)
