What is recorded here

Depicted as a tree-covered enclosure on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised oval area (int. dims. 49.8m NW-SE; 24.1m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, the outer face of which has been recently scarped, and slight suggestions of a fosse. A small stone structure formerly situated within the interior and at which burnt bones were discovered (local information), has since been levelled. 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
