The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. Known locally as the site of a 'fairy fort' (local information). All that survives to indicate the possible presence of an enclosure here is a raised circular platform (diam. c. 25m) demarcated by the curve of a now disused laneway from SE-S-NW. The inner face of the laneway is bordered by a low narrow bank of earth and stone.
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.
