The National Monuments Service's description
Sited on the summit of a prominent hill. Circular area (int. diam. c. 26m E-W) defined by a low bank composed mainly of stone. From SW-NW it is defined by a low stone embankment. It has been largely levelled from NE-SE. The interior is divided into four roughly equal portions by modern field boundaries. There are low mounds of stone in the S and W quadrants.
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.
