First noted by Richardson in the early 18th century (Paterson, Gaffikin and Davies 1938, 147). Marked on all OS eds. Situated on the summit of a low hill. It would appear from its depiction on the OS to have been originally oval in plan (dims. c. 37m NE-SW; c. 22m NW-SE). The site is thickly overgrown with vegetation. Nonetheless a much-denuded apparently circular cairn of small stones (diam. 14m; H 0.8m) is identifiable. A modern field boundary aligned NNE-SSW divides the site into two roughly equal portions. A second bank of earth and stone runs from WNW-SSW and its outline can also be traced from ENE-SE.
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.
