The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 27.2m) enclosed by a substantial but partly collapsed drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. A curving stone wall connects the W sector of this site to the NE of a small subrectangular raised area (int. dims. 16.4m NW-NE; 8.7m NE-SE). This is enclosed by a rampart similar in morphology to the circular enclosure. Again original entrance not recognisable. Densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
