What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. Not marked on subsequent eds. It apparently comprised a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 26.4m) enclosed by a bank and fosse. The site is divided into unequal portions by a field boundary running NNW-SSE. N of this there is no trace of the site visible at ground level. However, S of the field boundary the outline of the perimeter is still identifiable. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
