What is recorded here

Half-hidden under bramble and grass, the ringfort in Raragh keeps its shape through a broad earthen bank and a ditch that still holds water where the land is soft. Its south-east gap may be the entrance used when people lived inside, while the rest has been forgotten, infilled or simply stopped being seen. What is left is a circle large enough for homes, firelight and ordinary days, now returning to the field.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse best preserved from ESE-S-SW where it is partly waterlogged and otherwise infilled. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. Internal area densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
