What is recorded here

Conifers now crowd the forty-two-metre circle, yet the eastern gap still points toward the world while modern trenches scar its lower edge. People may have built the bank for children, goats or gods, but the forest has swallowed the answer and keeps the shape alive in shadow.

Situated within a plantation of coniferous trees. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by slight traces of an earthen bank. A modern bank with external trench has been built against the lower portion of the scarp. Wide break in scarp at E probably 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
