What is recorded here

Dinginavanty holds a substantial earthen ringfort with a twenty-seven metre diameter, twin banks and a waterlogged ditch between them. Its southeast entrance still aligns through matching breaks in the earth. The construction excludes casual entry and suggests residents who valued defense, identity or both.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 26.9m) enclosed by two very substantial earthen banks with partly waterlogged intermediate fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted slight indications of an outer fosse. Corresponding breaks in banks with accompanying causeway at SE represents 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
