What is recorded here
Raised circular area (int. dims. 50m NE-SW; 49m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial drystone wall. Gap in wall at S probably represents original entrance. From WNW-NW the wall is absent where a rectangular stone building was erected, the foundations of which are still visible. This is believed to have been built as a refuge by tenants evicted from a nearby house in the last century.
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.
