What is recorded here
Raised circular area (int. diam. 28.9m) enclosed by a low earthen bank which has been extensively modified and incorporated into the field boundary. An earlier report (OPW 1968) noted traces of a wide, shallow external fosse from NE-S-NW and 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.
