The National Monuments Service's description
The site is now occupied by a modern farmyard and farm buildings. It formerly comprised (OPW 1969) a raised circular area (int. dims. 46.3m E-W; 43.2m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and traces of a fosse. Original entrance was probably at SE. All that survives of the perimeter is a short stretch of fosse and bank at NW.
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.
