Cooneys Fort

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. Outer earthen bank identifiable from ENE-SE-SSW appears to be the result of modern excavation of the fosse which now forms part of the field drainage system. Narrow break in bank with accompanying causeway at E represents original entrance. 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
