The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' and depicted on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. as a roughly circular enclosure divided into unequal portions by a roadway aligned NE-SW. On the 1913 OS ed. only the larger portion of the site, WNW of the roadway is depicted. This has since been levelled. The smaller area ESE of the roadway is now occupied by modern farm buildings. Situated on the SW shoulder of a high drumlin ridge. Not visible at ground level.
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.
