What is recorded here

Raised oval area (int. dims. 37.5m E-W; 24.5m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a fosse. Bank absent from W-NW and from NNE-NE. Fosse best preserved from NNE-S-W and largely infilled elsewhere. Break in bank at SE, with traces of accompanying causeway, probably represents 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
