The National Monuments Service's description
Raised oval area (int. dims. 45.3m NNW-SSE; 40.5m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Modern field drains have been dug at the external foot of the bank. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded that the original entrance was at S. The site is situated within a plantation of deciduous trees and is extremely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
