What is recorded here

Mud, water and time built a round chamber wide enough for thirty-seven paces, then hid it beneath leaves. The southeast gap and causeway still point to the door, while the county line runs in a thin stream past the wall. Whatever lived inside stopped answering long before roads reached the valley.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 37m WNW-ESE; c. 35m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a break in the bank at SE with accompanying causeway which presumably represents the original entrance. From SE-S-W the site is skirted by a stream which forms part of the border between counties Cavan and Leitrim. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
