The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.6m) enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse which is virtually levelled except from SSE-S-W where it features as a narrow, very deep, waterlogged trench. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. A large stone lies on the surface within the internal area. Break in bank at WNW opens into a shallow, circular depression of unknown significance, just inside the line of the bank.
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.
