What is recorded here

Large subcircular raised area (int. dims. 83m N-S; 68m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank best preserved from SW-N-NNE, and a fosse well-defined from NW-N-SSW only. Both bank and fosse have been disturbed by quarrying. Depression in bank with accompanying causeway at ESE may represent original entrance. Within the interior at S is a short segment of earthen bank extending 5m N from the enclosing bank. Situated at the foot of a high drumlin hill. 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
