The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (diam. c. 50.4m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse which is absent from NNW-N-E. Poorly defined entrance at E. Internal area is divided into two roughly equal portions by a trackway which is flanked by modern earthen banks running NW-SE. Modern entrances have been cut through the perimeter at NW and SE. Bank and fosse are densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
