What is recorded here

West of the dividing field boundary, a substantial earthen bank still circles a raised area, marking the surviving half of a fort wide enough for forty paces across. The eastern half has been levelled into ordinary farmland, erasing the larger chamber while leaving the western chamber exposed. The fort stands half-swallowed, its missing side hidden beneath soil and forgetting.

Marked 'Fort' and indicated as a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m) on the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Site is divided into two unequal portions by a field boundary running NNE-SSW. A raised area enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and traces of a fosse is visible WNW of the boundary. The larger portion ESE of this has been levelled. 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
