What is recorded here

Half the ring is gone, taken by a widening road that never asked permission. The surviving north bank still rises thirty-seven metres across, a shallow trench cutting the grass like a forgotten breath. Whatever stood inside has stopped answering questions, but the earth keeps its shape against forgetting.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 37m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. The S half of the site was destroyed as a consequence of road widening in recent times. Original entrance not recognisable. Situated a short distance SW of an earthen mound (CV044-012----). 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
