What is recorded here
Mud, memory and math: forty metres across, a broken ring where people lived or raged. The gap at southeast still points the way in, as if the fort were waiting rather than dead.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 40.9m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a well-defined fosse. Break in bank at SE with accompanying causeway 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.
