What is recorded here
Number 25. That is fort twenty-five in the local count. People built twenty-four before it and maybe twenty-four after. The number does not claim the best shape or the largest size. It records the order in which the survey named the places.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 44.2m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank levelled from NE-S-SSE, and a wide, shallow fosse largely infilled from NNW-N-SSE. A field fence has been erected against the outer face of the bank from NNW-N-NNE. Original entrance may be at E.
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.
