What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. dims. 36.3m NNW-SSE; 32.7m ENE-WSW) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse of which only slight traces survive from NE-SSE. Well-defined break in bank with faint traces of accompanying causeway at NE 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
