What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 38m) enclosed by a substantial inner bank, a wide, deep fosse, which is absent from NNW-N-E, and the remains of an outer earthen bank. The outer bank survives from S-W-NNW where it has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Break in inner bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. Inside the bank at NW is a large subcircular depression of unknown significance. 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
