The National Monuments Service's description
An earlier report (OPW 1968) described a subrectangular area (int. dims. 47m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank from NW-N-SE and elsewhere by a scarp with slight remains of an earthen bank on its upper edge in places. At that time, much of the S half of the site had already been disturbed by field boundaries. Original entrance not recognisable. Not visible at ground level.
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.
