What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on all OS eds. Situated on the S slope of a long drumlin ridge. Although levelled, the outline of an earthen bank and a fosse may still be identified defining a circular area (int. diam. c. 28m). Earlier reports (OPW 1968 and 1969) suggested that the original entrance was probably at E. 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
