What is recorded here
Mully Lower holds a broad earthen ring where a shallow ditch still catches rain. People may have lived inside the bank or kept animals beside the wet trench. Others may have danced around it at summer festivals. The flat ground and broken entrance invite both possibilities.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 27.7m) enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank best preserved at NW, and a partly waterlogged fosse encircled by a modern earth and stone bank from NW-N-E. Break in bank with remains of accompanying causeway at SE 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.
