What is recorded here

Situated within a large modern plantation of coniferous trees. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse which was identifiable only from NNW-N-NNE and from SW-S-SSE. Modern laneway skirted the site from W-NW. Original entrance was not recognisable. Internal area was divided into two unequal portions by a modern field boundary running N-S. Not located subsequently. 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
