The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. dims. 20.8m NW-SE; 20.3m NNE-SSE) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1974) described the fosse as being wide and shallow, and the bank as substantial. Fosse is now only identifiable from W-N-NNE. Elsewhere it has been infilled. Bank has been levelled from NNE-E. Perimeter has been incorporated into the field boundary from SSE-S-SSW. Narrow break in bank at NNW, with slight traces of a possible causeway, represents original entrance.
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.
