The National Monuments Service's description
Roughly circular raised area (int. diam. 37m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and the remains of a partially waterlogged fosse. Modern roadway divides the site into two almost equal portions with breaks in the bank at NW and SSE. At N a modern trackway has replaced the fosse for a short distance. 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.
