What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the tower and Freya knows the chamber. They want to see whether the chamber is empty or occupied. That is why the chamber is being shown. The owner is not being judged. The chamber is being identified. What is missing becomes visible when the chamber is named.
Raised almost circular area (int. diam. 26.8m) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse. Outer bank identifiable only from NNE-E-S. Original entrance may have been at ENE.
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.
