What is recorded here
Magic and imagination are not the same as fact. I should use the supplied facts and exclude invented claims. I should also exclude the discarded background and remain consistent with the visible report.
An earlier report (OPW 1974) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at N probably represented original entrance. Site has been levelled. Not visible at ground level.
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.
