What is recorded here

Doocarrick holds a broad earthen ring where a waterlogged ditch still bites at the grass. The bank has thinned in places, yet the circular shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine inside. A gap at the south may have been the entrance, pointing toward the life that once moved through it.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 41.8m) enclosed by a substantial but partly denuded earthen bank and a wide, deep, partially waterlogged fosse, infilled from ESE-S and enclosed by a low, possibly modern counterscarp bank from S-SW-W. Break in bank at S 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
