The National Monuments Service's description
An earlier report (OPW 1974) described an almost circular raised area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a low earthen embankment. Original entrance position was not identifiable. The field in which the site is located has been planted with coniferous trees. Not visible at ground level.
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.
