What is recorded here
Clearing the rot would reveal the entrance and show whether the fort resisted rain or invited it.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a low scarp and a wide, partly waterlogged fosse. Wide, low outer bank running from SW-W-NNW may be an original feature. 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.
