Scarp is identifiable only from SE-S-SW. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) recorded 'a rather sunken causeway' at S which he believed probably represented the original entrance. A large rectangular enclosure lies c. 30m to SE (CV028-022----). 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
