Original entrance not recognisable. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) described a stone ditch 'driven across the centre' which 'partly interrupts the bank'. Densely overgrown with vegetation. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
