What is recorded here

Indicated is a small stone enclosure in County Cavan, Ireland, containing a circular cairn, a short wall and the remains of a tiny unroofed building. Its dry stone boundary stands less than a metre high beside a stream, with a gap at the north-west that may have been the entrance. The place is small enough to walk around in a minute, yet it preserves the shape of human effort: a corner built, a floor cleared, a boundary kept.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 ed. Situated 25m SW of a stream. A subtriangular-shaped area (int. dims. 12.9m NE-SW; 11.3m NW-SE) enclosed by a dry stone wall (Wth 0.6m; H. 0.8m) with a breach at NW possibly representing original entrance. The interior contains a number of features including a low circular cairn of stones, a stone wall (L. 5.3m) aligned NE-SW and the remains of a small rectangular unroofed stone building (int. dims. 4m NE-SW; 3.3m NW-SE) with an entrance in its NW wall. 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
