What is recorded here
Sited on the NW shoulder of a high drumlin ridge. Almost completely levelled. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a low circular mound (diam. 4.5m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a narrow, shallow, internal fosse.
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.
