What is recorded here

Mullaghboy in Tullygarvey preserves a broad earthen ring with two banks and outer ditches, its southwest gap marked by a causeway that still points to the entrance. The missing sections along the east and north may be erosion, reuse or forgetting, but the remaining curve suggests a place built to be seen, defended or remembered. People may have lived there, herded animals past it or simply avoided it after dark. Whatever they knew, the earth kept the shape long after their names disappeared.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 40.6m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with outer fosses. Inner bank absent from NE-E-SW and only fragmentary remains of outer fosse visible from ENE-E-SE. Outer bank also absent from ENE-E-SE with accompanying outer fosse identifiable only from NNW-N-NE. Corresponding breaks in bank at SW with accompanying causeway represents original entrance. 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
