What is recorded here
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) recorded a subcircular area (int. diam. 23.7m) bounded by a low earthen bank and a shallow fosse at W and NW and elsewhere by a steep scarp. He described a break in the bank and fosse at W which he speculated was probably the original entrance. Situated adjacent to a stream in wet infertile ground. Not visible at ground level.
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.
