The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 50m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a shallow fosse. From ESE-S-NW the perimeter has been levelled but is still identifiable. Elsewhere it has been much modified and incorporated into the field boundary. 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.
