What is recorded here

Raised subcircular area (int. dims. 28m E-W; 31m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank. No surviving indication of an external fosse. From NW-N-ENE the perimeter has been incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. At the centre of the internal area and in the W quadrant the ground level is much disturbed as a consequence of digging. (Ó Ríordáin, Prendergast and Rynne 1962, 156) recorded the upper stone of a quern which was discovered at the site. 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
