What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. dims. 30.5m ENE-WSW; 28.5m NNW-SSE) enclosed by traces of a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. In the NW quadrant the bank does not rise above the internal area. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area slopes fairly steeply to NW and NNE. 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
