Rectangular area (int. dims.28m NNW-SSE; 15m WSW-ENE) enclosed by a slight bank of earth and stone except at NNW where it is bounded by a field bank with a modern external trench. A number of large boulders lie along the perimeter of the enclosure on three sides. Recorded by Davies (1948, 110).
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.
