What is recorded here

Raised roughly circular area (int. dims. 32m NE-SSW; 28.5m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow, partly waterlogged fosse. From W-N-NE fosse has been adapted for use as a field drain in modern times. Break in bank at N with partly destroyed accompanying causeway 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
