The National Monuments Service's description
Situated a short distance from the summit of a drumlin hill. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with wide, deep, waterlogged intervening fosse. Original entrance may have been at NE. Levelled in the early 1960s leaving nothing 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.
