Raised apparently subcircular area (int. dims. c. 49m NE-SW; c. 39m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. From E-SE-S, fosse and bank have been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Bank is absent or very slight from ENE-E-ESE. An earlier report (OPW 1968) noted the presence of a low external earthen bank from SW-W-NW. Break in inner bank with accompanying causeway at SSW represents original entrance. Attached to the site at NE is a small crescent-shaped annex (dims. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 12.5m NE-SW) bounded by a low earthen bank. 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.
