What is recorded here
No visible gate, no broken stone, no human scar. The circle is complete. What is complete does not need proving. What is missing is the part that resists being known. The fort is not hiding. It is waiting for the right kind of watcher.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 26.6m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a fosse. Perimeter has been slightly modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
