What is recorded here

Large raised oval area (int. dims. c.110m NW-SE; 90m NE-SW) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse identifiable from SSE-S-SSW. The bank has been scarped and surmounted by a modern low bank of earth and stone. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SSW apparently marks the original entrance. Just outside the fosse at E is a holy well (CV016-037002-). 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
