The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by traces of a very low bank of earth and stone. From NW-NE the perimeter was destroyed as a result of the construction of the Sligo-Enniskillen railway which has long fallen into disuse and has been replaced by a modern roadway at this location. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
