Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 56m NNE-SSW; c. 40m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with wide, deep, partly waterlogged intermediate fosse. From E-S-SW the external bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. From NNW-N-NE the inner bank has been removed and replaced by a modern field boundary. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance may have been at WSW. Densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
