What is recorded here

Raised circular area enclosed by a substantial earthen inner bank, a fosse and possible remains of a levelled outer bank. From ESE-ENE the inner bank has a modern, internal, drystone facing. The fosse is infilled both here and at WNW. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at E 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
