The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 43m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank which has been much modified and incorporated into the field boundary from ENE-S-WNW and survives elsewhere as a low scarp. From SSW-WNW a laneway runs outside it, possibly on the site of an external fosse. 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.
