The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 25.3m) enclosed by a much-denuded drystone wall. Original entrance was probably at SW. Built against the internal face of the perimeter at NW are the remains of a small circular stone structure (int. diam. 1.8m H 0.6m) — probably the remains of a small hut site of beehive-type construction. The roof has collapsed. The lintelled entrance to the structure (H 0.6m) is at SE.
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.
