The National Monuments Service's description
Raised oval area (int. dims. 54m NE-SW;45.2m NW-SE) enclosed by a low, wide earthen bank and a fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded that there was formerly a limekiln built into the bank atN. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SEmay represent original entrance. Tradition of a spa well within the internal area (local information).
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.
