The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. but known as a 'fort' (local information). Raised circular area (int. diam. c.26m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a fosse. From SE-S-WSW the perimeter has been much modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Elsewhere it has been levelled but is identifiable as a low scarp. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
