What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. dims. 28.4m NNW-SSE; 27m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse which has been much modified for drainage purposes. Outside the fosse from S-W-N is a low earthen bank, almost certainly modern. From ESE-S-SW the perimeter has been levelled. An earlier description (OPW 1968) suggests that the original entrance may have been at SE. 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
