Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. Large oval area on the summit of a high drumlin hill enclosed by field boundaries. The outline of the enclosing elements, which have been levelled from NNE-ENE and SSE-S-SSW, is still traceable. Davies (1948, 95) speculated that the site is 'almost certainly a neolithic monument of the type of Lyle's Hill and others in Ulster'. He noted that it is approached by several old roads, and was important as a fair ground in the sixteenth century. A church site (CV016-099002-) lies within the enclosure (CUCAP AVR 32) 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
