The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a shallow fosse. The fosse has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary from ESE-S-W and has a low, apparently modern, counterscarp bank at its outer lip. Wide break in bank at E presumably represents original entrance. A large pond occupies the northern area of the interior.
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.
