What is recorded here

Clankee By holds a broad earthen ring where a shallow ditch once bit into the ground. Its south-east gap still points toward the entrance, while an unexplained stony mound sits inside the western bank like a forgotten marker. The shape may have served as a fortress, a boundary or a warning, but the stones no longer answer that question.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a shallow fosse. Break in bank at SE probably represents original entrance. Lying inside the bank at W is a low stony mound of unknown significance. 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
