What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 48.2m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse best preserved from E-S-SW, and largely levelled elsewhere. Fosse is encompassed by an apparently modern, low counterscarp bank. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at E 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
