The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 62m) enclosed by a wide, low bank from WSW-N. From N-E the site is bounded by a tributary of the Upper Inny River and has been much defaced as a consequence of river drainage works. From E-S-WSW the perimeter has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area is divided into two unequal portions by a field boundary running ESE-WSW.
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.
