What is recorded here
Mullacroghery holds a thirty-five metre earthen ring where a forgotten gate vanished beneath soil and time. The low bank still circles the grass, marking a boundary drawn before written memory. People may have lived inside that shallow trap, watching the horizon through an opening now lost to moss and forgetting.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a low earthen bank surmounted by a modern field bank from SW-N-E, and a wide, shallow fosse. 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.
