What is recorded here

One chamber, one door, one living edge. The fort is a round room with a cut moat and a causeway at the east, large enough for a small household but shaped like a fortress. The stream beside it and the hidden well below it suggest that people lived there, drank from it, and left the form behind.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 35.3m NNW-SSE; 32.4m ENE-WSW) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which is best preserved from NNE-S-SSW. Bank with accompanying causeway at ESE represents original entrance. A stream flows immediately N of the site, and at S there is an infilled well. 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
