What is recorded here
Thirty-six feet across and half a metre high, the hut site in Rosskeeragh crouches beside a rath on a steep drumlin. Its flat top and circular shape suggest a small dwelling rather than a grand hall, yet it still stands where people once lived. The mound may have sheltered a family, a herdsman or a solitary thinker watching the valley below.
Situated c. 20m NW of a rath (CV015-069001-), close to the summit of a steep drumlin hill. Low circular, flat-topped earthen mound (diam. 13.2m; H 0.5m).
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.
