What is recorded here
Indicated occupies a thirty-three metre circular chamber in County Cavan, where a grassed-over drystone wall still marks the boundary of a forgotten life. The original entrance has vanished beneath soil and time, denying modern visitors the exact threshold used by earlier inhabitants. This hidden doorway transforms the ruin into a living trap, forcing imagination to complete what measurement cannot capture.
Indicated on all OS eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 32.9m). enclosed by the grassed-over lower portion of a drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
