What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 43.1m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse. Bank only survives in its original form at NE. From NNE-S-SSW the perimeter has been incorporated into the field boundary. Elsewhere it has been levelled but its outline may still be traced. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a possible entrance feature at NE. Internal area is largely occupied by a modern water tower. 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
