What is recorded here

Enagh is a circular rath with a thirty-metre diameter, enclosed by a low bank and shallow fosse. Beech trees now crowd its centre after early twentieth-century planting, while a later field bank circles the whole site. The shape still reads as a made place even though its human purpose has faded from local memory.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a shallow fosse. At the outer lip of the fosse from SE-N-NE there are slight traces of a low counterscarp bank. The internal area was planted with beech trees in the early decades of this century. The site is encircled by a relatively modern field bank of ha-ha type. A tree-ring lies between the rath and this later field boundary. 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
