Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Largely levelled. It apparently comprised a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by an earthen bank which is still identifiable from SE-W-NW and discernible as a low scarp from N-NE. A modern drain lies outside the bank at W and a modern laneway skirts the perimeter from SE-S. Original entrance not recognisable. A barrow (CV028-012002-) is situated inside the bank at NW. 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
