What is recorded here

Situated on a hillock on the shores of Lough Gowna. Raised D-shaped area (int. dims. 28.8m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse. Site is divided into two apparently equal portions by a modern field wall running NW-SE. There are no surface remains NE of this. Slight depression in the bank accompanied by suggestions of a causeway at NNE may represent 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
