What is recorded here

No visible fort remains on the east side, but the missing half is not empty. The field wall cuts through the middle of the claim, dividing one place into two and inviting imagination to complete what sight withholds.

Situated on a hillock on the shores of Lough Gowna. Raised D-shaped area (int. dims. 28.8m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse. Site is divided into two apparently equal portions by a modern field wall running NW-SE. There are no surface remains NE of this. Slight depression in the bank accompanied by suggestions of a causeway at NNE may represent 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
