The National Monuments Service's description
Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 48m NNW-SSE; c. 31m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. Both have been greatly modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Fosse is absent from SSE-SSW and from ESE-SSE a modern drain has been cut along its line. Original entrance may be represented by a break in the bank at S.
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.
