The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a narrow drystone wall. Original entrance was probably at S. Part of the enclosed area is at a lower level than the external ground level. Along the internal face of the wall at W there are two large stones which may represent the remains of a house site.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
