What is recorded here

A kink in the field boundary running from SE-S-SW is the only surviving indicator of the site. An earlier report (OPW 1968) described a raised subcircular area (int. dims. c. 30m E-W; c. 27m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a modern trench. Original entrance location was not identified. Site has been levelled. 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
