The National Monuments Service's description
Much disturbed. Of the complete circular enclosure marked 'Fort' on the OS 1836 ed. all that remains is a steep scarp running from NNE-E-S. Modern farm buildings occupy the remainder of the site. Situated on the summit of a drumlin hill.
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.
