The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34.7m) enclosed by a low earthen bank. A rectangular stone building representing the remains of a Quakers' Meeting House, marked on all OS eds, stands at the centre of the internal area. Davies (ITA Survey 1946) also noted 'a few graves' within the enclosure. Original entrance may have been at W where there was an old laneway. A wide depression at the external foot of the bank at NW probably represents the remains of another laneway. On the OS 1836 ed. dwelling-houses are depicted skirting the site from ENE-SE.
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.
