The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a slight earthen bank. Break in bank at N represents original entrance. A low drystone wall, enclosing a circular area (diam. 38.4m) and divided into two roughly equal parts by a field boundary aligned NW-SE, within the interior of the rath, appears relatively modern.
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.
