The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 33m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a fosse identifiable throughout most of its circuit except from NE-E and from ESE-S-SW. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance may have been at ESE.
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.
