What is recorded here
Thirty-nine metres of clay and memory stand in Drumard, a round chamber waiting for breath. The east gap still points toward the road, as if inviting someone home after centuries of rain.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 39.6m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide fosse which has been infilled from SE-S-SSW. Wide break in the bank at ESE 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.
