The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 24m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with outer fosses. External fosse is absent from N-E-S. Elsewhere it is narrow and deep and surrounded by a counterscarp bank suggesting that it may be just a field drain. Both interior and exterior of bank has been faced with stone in places. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area has been planted with coniferous trees.
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.
