What is recorded here

Indicated is a mossy stone ringfort in County Cavan, marked on maps since 1836. Its upper wall disappeared into nearby field boundaries, leaving a shallow circular scar where a door once stood. The fort still holds its shape, but the hand that built it has vanished into the soil.

Indicated on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by the moss-covered base of a stone rampart. The upper courses of the wall have been removed and the stones apparently utilised as building material for nearby field boundaries. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
