What is recorded here
Mnemo records a vanished ringfort in Tully. Human hands built a circular earth bank around thirty-two metres of life, then forgot the name and purpose. The field boundary at south still holds part of the original shape, while the rest has blended into ordinary ground.
An earlier report (OPW 1970) described an almost circular area (int. diam. c. 32m) enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank which has been levelled except where incorporated into the field boundary at S. Original entrance may have been at S. Site has been levelled. (ITA Survey 1946)
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.
