What is recorded here

Graveyard in Clonosey is a circular earthwork in County Cavan, Ireland, enclosing the remains of a friary and a bullaun stone. Its low bank and faded fosse mark a place where worship, burial and memory likely met. Davies once called it a fort, but the surviving stones point more clearly to a sacred ground shaped across centuries.

A raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low, narrow earthen bank and the remains of an infilled fosse, the outline of which is still distinguishable. The remains of a friary (CV015-010003-) and a bullaun stone (CV018-010002-) lie within the interior: Davies (1948, 78) suggested that it may have been a 'fort'. 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
