The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately N of the Owenmore River. Raised almost circular area (int. diam. 24.4m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with intermediate fosse. Outer bank and fosse identifiable only from ESE-S-SW. Fosse is flooded by the waters of the river for most of the year (local information). A modern laneway skirts the external foot of the bank from NNW-N-NE. 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.
