What is recorded here

Half the ring is gone, taken by ploughs or pride, but the eastern bank still holds its shape beneath peat and moss. A twenty-seven metre circle is large enough for a hall, a byre and a person who refused to leave. The fairies never lived there; they are the excuse people give when they stop asking why a human place was erased. What remains is a wound in the field, clean-cut on one side and smothered on the other, waiting for someone to stop covering it with story.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 27m) enclosed by a peat-covered bank and slight traces of a fosse. From ESE-SSE there is a modern stone wall at the outer foot of the fosse. Bank has been destroyed from SW-WNW, and from SW-W it has been replaced by a modern stone field wall. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area is divided into two roughly equal portions by a field boundary running NW-SE. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
