Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 eds. Small raised circular area (int. diam 17.5m N-S) enclosed by a low steep-sided earthen bank. At the external foot of the bank is a narrow shallow ditch which appears to be modern.

The internal area has been planted with coniferous trees. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).

A bawn of clay and stones was apparently erected here during the Plantation period. The hill upon which it was situated is called 'Castle Hill', and a nearby field 'Piers Field' reputedly derives its name from massive walls with stone gateposts which formerly surrounded it. No visible remains at ground level, but it remains unplanted in a forest.
