The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Sited on the SE slope of a mountain. Circular mound of earth and stone (diam. 11.9m; H 0.65m) encircled by a wide, shallow, external fosse which has been infilled from WNW-N-NE where a modern stone field boundary skirts the site. The mound is largely flat-topped except for a low irregularly shaped rise in the centre.
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.
