What is recorded here

Raised oval area (int. dims. 41.5m NNE-SSW; 36m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two earthen banks with outer fosses. Modern field boundaries skirt the exterior of the outer fosse from S-W-NNW and from NW-N. Corresponding breaks in banks at E probably represent original entrance, although there are no accompanying causeways. 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
