What is recorded here

Marianne and the anonymous writer both missed the obvious shape of the account. A clear visible chamber, a hidden chamber and a bridging chamber are not being invented when those are the parts named in the facts. The answer should have separated what could be seen from what could not be seen. That is all.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, an intermediate narrow, deep, waterlogged fosse and a low counterscarp external bank identifiable only from N-E-SE. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SSW represents original entrance. Situated on the summit of a low drumlin hill which is surrounded by marsh except from WNW-NW-N. 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
