What is recorded here
No visible entrance, no surviving tower, no unique claim. A round earth work with a ditch, partly cut through by a modern road and field boundary in Garrymore. The missing entrance and broken edge do not make it small; they make it honest.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 34.6m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse. Slight suggestions of a second bank at the outer lip of the fosse from NW-N-ENE and from SE-SSW. From SW-NW the perimeter and portion of the internal area has been levelled and replaced by a modern laneway running N-S. Immediately W of this is a modern dwelling. From ENE-SE the perimeter 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.
