What is recorded here
Raised oval area (int. dims. 73m N-S; 67m E-W) enclosed by vague traces of a fosse, and a scarp with slight traces of an earthen bank on its upper edge. Modern trench replaces fosse from W-NW-N. Poorly defined break in bank at S may represent original entrance. Known in the locality as a 'fort'.
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.
