Raised oval area (int. dims. 34.8m N-S; 27.3m E-W) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with intermediate fosse. Outer bank is not concentric with the inner bank due to a lunate area at WSW which forms an annex between it and the fosse. An earlier description (OPW 1969) noted slight remains of an external fosse outside the outer bank here and the remains of a counterscarp bank along the ENE side of the annex. Corresponding breaks in banks with accompanying causeway at N represents original entrance.
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.
