What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 31.7m) enclosed by a steep, narrow earthen bank extending in an arc from NW-S-SE. From SE it straightens and extends for a short distance to NNW. Not present from NW-N-NNE. This bank is similar in morphology to other field boundaries in the vicinity. Original entrance not recognisable. At the centre of the enclosed area is a small oval-shaped earthen mound (max. dims. 3.5m E-W; 2.5m N-S; max. H 0.25m) of unknown significance. 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
