Marked on the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. as a tree-covered enclosure. Remains comprise an oval-shaped raised area (int. dims. 47m N-S; 21.6m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a shallow fosse. Break in bank accompanied by fragmentary traces of a causeway at N probably represents original entrance. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
