What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 38.5m)enclosed by a slight earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse (Wth c. 2.3m). Original entrance not recognisable. Modern field bank and trench extends in a NNE-SE direction, dividing the internal area into unequal portions. The smaller portion, ENE of this, has been partially ploughed out. 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
