Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 eds. Small raised circular area (int. diam 17.5m N-S) enclosed by a low steep-sided earthen bank. At the external foot of the bank is a narrow shallow ditch which appears to be modern. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SE and recorded a 'slight artifical-looking depression inside the bank at E'. The internal area has been planted with coniferous trees. 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
