What is recorded here
Raised circular area (int. diam. 27.2m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse identifiable only from NW-N-E. Bank appears to have been modified and has been incorporated into the field boundary. From WSW-WNW the site is skirted by a modern roadway and drainage trench. Break in bank at ESE may represent original entrance.
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.
