The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. Raised oval area (int. dims. 35m E-W; 29.2m N-S) divided into two roughly equal portions by the now disused Cavan-Leitrim railway. The portion WNW of this is enclosed by a low much-disturbed bank of earth and stone. Projecting into the internal area from the inner face of the bank at WNW are possible remains of a souterrain (CV013-027002-). The portion ESE of the railway has been largely levelled but its outline is readily identifiable. 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.
