What is recorded here
Located at the crest of the E shoulder of a short E-W ridge. This is a large raised subrectangular area (dims. c. 115m NE-SW; c. 105m E-W) as represented on the 1835 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is divided into two unequal portions by a WNW-ESE field boundary, the area S of which is now reclaimed grassland. North of the field boundary the smaller portion survives as a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 90m WNW-ESE; c. 25m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown fosse (at N: Wth of top 3.2m; int. D 1m; ext. D 1.8-2.4m) and an overgrown outer earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 2.8m; ext. H 0.6m). No entrance is identified.
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.
