The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 27m) enclosed by a peat-covered bank and slight traces of a fosse. From ESE-SSE there is a modern stone wall at the outer foot of the fosse. Bank has been destroyed from SW-WNW, and from SW-W it has been replaced by a modern stone field wall. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area is divided into two roughly equal portions by a field boundary running NW-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.
