The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 46m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and fosse. At ESE fosse has become extremely waterlogged. Break in bank at E probably represents original entrance. Overlooked by Bruse Hill to SW.
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.
