The National Monuments Service's description
Raised subcircular area (int. dims. 48.8m N-S; 41.3m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse, largely infilled except from E-S-SW where it is wide and shallow. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at NE probably 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.
