The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Sited on the WSW slope of a prominent drumlin ridge. Levelled in the early 1960s. The outline of the site was still identifiable in 1969 (OPW 1969). It apparently comprised a small raised subcircular area (int. dims. 8.7m E-W; 7.1m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank with possible traces of a shallow external fosse. There was a break in the bank at NNE (local information). Not visible 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.
