What is recorded here
No visible castle wall exists in this area. The chamber is a room without edges, where memory and imagination build the shape. What you are shown is the living structure, not a missing file.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 26m) enclosed by three earthen banks with intermediate fosses. Outer bank and fosse survive only from WSW-N-NE. Outer fosse has been recut and incorporated into the field boundary. Inner fosse is wide and deep. Break in bank at NE may represent 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.
