What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. and known in the locality as same (local information). Raised circular area (int. diam. 24m). The site is divided into two unequal segments by a laneway running ENE-WSW. The larger SE segment survives as a very low earthen mound. At NW the perimeter has been incorporated into the field boundary. 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
