What is recorded here

Raised subtriangular area (int. dims. c. 36m N-S; c. 22m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. From SSW-W-NW there are traces of an external bank which is probably a later feature. The fosse has been largely infilled from NE-S-SSW. From NE-E-SE both faces of the bank have been modified and a modern trench dug at the foot of the internal face. Original entrance not recognisable. The interior slopes appreciably from W-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
