The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on all OS eds. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded a raised circular area (int. dims. 34m NNW-SSE; 33.4m ENE-WSW) enclosed by traces of a low earthen bank. Apart from a curve in the field boundary at WNW there are no visible remains at ground level.
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.
