The National Monuments Service's description

Depicted on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. as a small subtriangular field. Situated on the summit of a drumlin hill. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 26.8m). All that survives of the perimeter is a kink in the field boundary from N-E-S. Believed to be the site of a 'fort' (local information).

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.
