The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just S of the summit of a high drumlin hill. Much disturbed. Marked 'Fort' on the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. It would appear to have comprised a raised circular area (int. diam. 32.3m). The enclosing features, presumably an earthen bank and fosse, are completely obscured by a complex of modern field boundaries, banks and drains. Large depressions in the perimeter at WSW and W.
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.
