The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and the remains of a narrow fosse from W-S-SE. At NW the curve of the bank has been straightened and drystone walling applied to its outer face. From NE-E-SE the perimeter has been levelled and modern buildings occupy the site. Bank has also been levelled from N-NW. Laneway cuts through perimeter at W and runs through the interior to SE. Internal area has been planted with trees.
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.
