Situated within a large modern plantation of coniferous trees. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse which was identifiable only from NNW-N-NNE and from SW-S-SSE. Modern laneway skirted the site from W-NW. Original entrance was not recognisable. Internal area was divided into two unequal portions by a modern field boundary running N-S. Not located subsequently. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
