The National Monuments Service's description
Raised subrectangular area (int. dims. 36.3m NW-SE; 27.4m NE-SW) enclosed by fragmentary remains of a low earthen bank with shallow external fosse. From ESE-S-SSW both bank and fosse are absent where the River Erne skirts the site, and have been levelled and replaced by a modern field boundary from NNE-E-SSE. 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.
