A very large heart-shaped area (int. dims. c. 150m NE-SW; c. 85m NW-SE) on the summit of a hill, enclosed by a low, narrow bank and a shallow ditch similar in morphology to field boundaries in the vicinity. On the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. a break is indicated in the perimeter from SSW-W-NW, while the OS 1912 ed. shows the same area fully enclosed. Within the past decade the enclosing elements have been levelled from SSW-W-NW (local information). Known locally as a 'fort'.
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.
