What is recorded here

No visible gap or gate remains to mark where life entered the drum. The earth has swallowed the threshold, closing the circle like a fist around a secret. What was hidden is not lost, only waiting for someone who knows how to listen.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 33.8m) enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse. From ENE-S-WSW the enclosing features have been much modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Elsewhere they have been levelled but their outline is still identifiable. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
