The National Monuments Service's description

Rectangular area (int. dims. 27m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone and a stone wall. Within this are the foundations of two small buildings, neither likely to have been the site of a church. Davies (1948, 111) recorded that a coin dated 1573 was found in or near it.

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.
