The National Monuments Service's description
An earlier report (OPW 1970) described a raised circular area (int. dims. 50.5m N-S; 47m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a fosse. An unusual feature of the site was the presence of a wide, shallow fosse inside the bank. Original entrance was probably at NNW. Site has since been levelled with only the outline of the perimeter now identifiable.
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.
