What is recorded here

Situated on a rise on a N-W ridge. This is a large almost circular raised and grass-covered area (int. diam. 95m E-W; 89m N-S) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (at W: int. H c. 0.3m; ext. H 2.5m) with an overgrown external fosse (at W: Wth of base 1.2m; ext. D 0.5m) which has been partially replaced by a modern drain. Both the bank and fosse have been levelled E-S-SSW but their outline is still traceable. The original entrance may have been at ESE. 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: 22 December 2008 Amended: 18 March 2021
