Raised oval area (int. dims. 45.3m NNE-SSW; 35m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two very substantial earthen banks with wide, deep, intermediate fosse. Corresponding breaks in banks with accompanying causeway at S represents original entrance. A subrectangular hollow with some visible remains of loose masonry occurs in the interior and may represent the remains of a castle built within the rath in the early 17th century (CV014-049002-) In addition, a stone-lined well was constructed the outer edge of the fosse.
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.
