What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised, almost circular area (int. diam. c. 26m) the enclosing elements of which have been incorporated into the field boundary from S-W-WNW. Elsewhere it has been levelled and the delimiting feature is a much-defaced scarp. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
