Ecclesiastical enclosure in Relagh Beg, County Cavan

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Located in a fold towards the top of a S-facing slope. The early monastic church and the medieval parish church of Moybologue are centred on a circular graveyard. This is at the S edge of what might be a large oval ecclesiastical enclosure (dims c. 270m E-W; c. 170m N-S), the perimeter of which could be fossilised in the road boundary that arcs past the graveyard E-S-W, including the S edge of the graveyard in its course. This is continued by a field bank curving W-NW which includes within it at this NW edge the motte and bailey (CV034-045----). The perimeter is absent NNW-NE but might follow the line of a field bank NE-E where it would meet the road.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV034-046008
