Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with intermediate wide fosse. A modern drain which runs outside the outer bank from E-SE-S may have replaced an earlier fosse. Intermediate fosse has been infilled and is now utilised as a laneway. Break in inner bank at SE may represent original entrance. The ruins of a small circular building (int. diam. c. 2m), enclosed by a stone wall (max. H c. 2m), with a collapsed doorway at S, lies at the centre of the interior. This was probably a late-18th or early 19th-century folly.
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.
