What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 32.4m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a shallow fosse identifiable only from SSE-S-W. Both bank and fosse have been destroyed from NNW-N-NE as a consequence of road construction. A stream flows through a narrow channel at the external foot of the bank from ENE-E-SSE and a modern pump-house has been erected at E. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance was probably 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
