The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. An earlier report (OPW 1970) described it as a raised circular area (int. dims. 32m ENE-WSW; 31.5m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank which by that time had been partly replaced by a modern stone wall. Original entrance was at SE. Site has since been levelled.
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.
