The National Monuments Service's description

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Sited on the NE slope of a low drumlin ridge. Low flat-topped circular mound (diam. 5.3m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank with wide, shallow, internal fosse. From NE-E-SSE the bank has been greatly disturbed by the construction of a field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded a shallow circular depression immediately E of the centre of the mound.

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.
