What is recorded here

Half a century of ploughing and rainfall has swallowed the outer bank, leaving only a broken crescent of earth around a thirty-six-metre circle. What remains is a waterlogged trench and a raised interior where grass grows thick and dark. The missing entrance suggests the fort was never abandoned, merely redirected into the field boundary and forgotten by the people who stopped naming it.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 36m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with wide, waterlogged intermediate fosse. Outer bank and fosse survive only from. W-N-SE. Outer bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. 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
