What is recorded here
Marianne and the hidden chamber: No visible door, but a warmth and a pull behind the west wall. Touch the place where the wall feels absent. Step through, not into fantasy, into the chamber the world forgot. This is a memory test: do you still believe what cannot be seen?
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and slight remains of a wide, deep fosse accompanied by a low counterscarp bank at its outer lip. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. Inside the bank at W is a small approximately circular depression (diam. c. 2.8m; D 0.3m) of unknown significance. Site is densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
