What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted a modern trench at the external foot of the bank but no evidence of a fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area is divided into two roughly equal portions by a field boundary aligned NE-SW. 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.
