Conjoined raths encircled by a relatively modern field boundary and separated by a fosse. The SE rath comprises a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 38m) enclosed by two earthen banks with outer fosses. Outer bank is very substantial; the inner much less so. Both fosses are wide but shallow. Corresponding breaks in banks at E with accompanying causeway across inner fosse represents original entrance. Break in outer bank is now blocked. The NE rath comprises a raised oval area (int. dims. c. 36m NE-SW; c. 31m NW-SE) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Outer bank identifiable only from SSW-NNW. Corresponding breaks in banks at SSE of this rath and NNW of the larger rath, with accompanying causeway, allows access from one to the other.
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.
