What is recorded here

Anchored beneath the beech and pine shadows beside St Patrick's College, the earthen bank still holds its forty-metre circle on the drumlin summit. The forgotten entrance has vanished under soil and time, yet the unbroken ring suggests a place set apart for life, worship or defense before human memory faded. What is certain is shape and endurance: a made circle, still standing where the land rises.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. Situated immediately ESE of St Patrick's College and just S of the summit of a drumlin hill. From W-N-E a modern drain has been dug at the external foot of bank. Original entrance not recognisable. Several modern paths traverse the internal area which has been planted largely with beech and pine. 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
