The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.8m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and possible remains of a fosse. The bank has been incorporated into the field boundary from WNW-NNW, and from NNE-N-E it survives only as a low scarp. Original entrance not recognisable. Very overgrown with vegetation.
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.
