What is recorded here

Raised subcircular area (int. dims. c. 34.5m N-S; c. 26m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, waterlogged fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1968) noted possible traces of an outer bank enclosing the fosse. Wide break in bank with possible evidence of accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
