The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.4m) enclosed by two earthen banks with intermediate fosse. Outer bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary from WSW-N-E, and levelled elsewhere. Fosse survives only in the N half of the site where it is very poorly defined. Much of the S half of the site has been levelled. Original entrance not recognisable. Modern buildings abut the site from NNE-E-S.
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.
