What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank scarped externally from SE-S-W, and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse recently recut from NNW-N-NE to accommodate a field drain and removed from SE-S-W. Break in bank with faint remains of accompanying causeway at E probably represents original entrance. Internal area densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
