What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 41.8m) enclosed by a substantial but partly denuded earthen bank and a wide, deep, partially waterlogged fosse, infilled from ESE-S and enclosed by a low, possibly modern counterscarp bank from S-SW-W. Break in bank at S may represent original entrance. 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
