The National Monuments Service's description
An earlier report (OPW 1968) described a raised almost circular area (int. dims. 59.5m E-W; 53.5m N-S) enclosed by two earthen banks with intermediate fosse. Original entrance was not recognisable. Rath has been largely levelled with modern farm buildings now occupying the greater part of the site.
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.
