What is recorded here

Indicated is a rectangular earthen enclosure on a promontory jutting into Milltown Lough in County Cavan, Ireland. Its bank still marks a boundary beside water, while a shallow depression at the north-west edge may preserve the ghost of a ditch. The shape suggests people once confined movement, stored goods or kept others out on land that the lake already claimed.

Marked on all OS eds. Situated in the centre of a promontory jutting into Milltown Lough, c. 30m SE of a possible promontory fort (CV028-021----). An approximately rectangular area (int. dims, 72m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Outside the bank at NW is a slight depression which may represent the site of a 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
