The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on all OS eds. Known as a 'fort' (local information). Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a largely grass-covered, much-denuded low drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. On OS 1836 ed. a rectangular building is shown adjoining the site at NE. Within the enclosed area at NE are the foundations of a rectangular stone building (int. dims. 8.3m x 3.7m) with an internal dividing wall. Site is densely overgrown with vegetation. The OS 1836 ed. depicts a rectangular building adjoining the site at NE which has since been levelled.
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.
