What is recorded here

Although levelled in 1952, the outline of the enclosing elements can be distinguished for a short stretch at SW. From earlier descriptions (OPW 1968 and 1970) it would appear that the site comprised a slightly raised oval area (int. dims c. 32m NNW-SSE; 24.5m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a slight earthen bank and a fosse. Original entrance may have been at SSE. 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
