What is recorded here
Modern property lines cut across the old ring, yet the circular ground remains visible beneath dense vegetation. The site is no longer a quiet rural curiosity but a lived boundary where human and fairy claims still compete.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a slight earthen bank best defined from NW-N-NE.A modern bank of earth and stone has been piled up against it and a modern ditch dug outside. Original entrance may have been either at E or S. Densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
