The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. The outline of the perimeter is marked by a curve in the field boundary from SW-W-NW and by a low scarp from E-SE. Field and map evidence indicates that the area enclosed was c. 30m in diameter. Known as the 'fort field' (local information). Site has been levelled.
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.
