What is recorded here
Indicated is a faded Cavan ringfort where a modern bank disguises the original entrance and a hidden ditch still curves beneath the grass. That misleading shape may have tempted travelers into the wrong circle or revealed the boundary only to those patient enough to watch the land breathe.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 25m) enclosed by a slight earthen bank. External fosse has been infilled but its outline is still identifiable. The rath is encircled by a modern bank from NE-S-WSW which may easily be confused with the original bank. 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.
