What is recorded here
Raised circular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank which has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Modern trenches skirt the exterior of the bank. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SE.
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.
