The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a possible fosse. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. A slight earth and stone bank with a short segment of scarp set at a right angle to its SW side, runs through the interior in a NW-SE direction. At NNE a broad ramp-like feature leads up to the top of the bank from the internal area.
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.
