What is recorded here
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 37.3m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse, both of which have been modified and incorporated into the field boundary from SSW-W-NNW. From NNW-N a field boundary runs immediately outside of the site. Here the fosse has been levelled in and the bank is slight. Break in bank at SE with remains of accompanying causeway may represent original entrance.
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.
