What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ringfort in County Cavan, Ireland. Its circular earthwork still stands beside the land, but the drystone wall has worn thin and the entrance has disappeared under soil and grass. The fort may have been a home, a boundary marker or a forgotten trading place. People may have lived there, argued there, buried children there or simply passed it without naming it.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 28.6m) enclosed by a low, much-denuded drystone wall. Original entrance may have been at NW. 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
