The National Monuments Service's description
A raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low, narrow earthen bank and the remains of an infilled fosse, the outline of which is still distinguishable. The remains of a friary (CV015-010003-) and a bullaun stone (CV018-010002-) lie within the interior: Davies (1948, 78) suggested that it may have been a 'fort'.
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.
