What is recorded here
Dinginavanty holds a substantial earthen ringfort with a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse and a possible underground passage. The southeast entrance still shows its causeway, inviting people into a space where human ingenuity met local belief. The field boundary marks the edge of a living landscape, not a dead one.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.6m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. The site is encircled by a modern field boundary. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. Possible Man-made underground passage within internal area (CV022-01302-).
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.
