What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 32.4m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse which is wide and deep from E-SSE. Elsewhere it has been infilled but its outline can be traced from WNW-N-E. Bank has been levelled from SSE-S-WNW. From N-ENE it has been incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. Tradition suggests that the rath was originally bivallate and that the outer bank was levelled c. 100 years ago (local information). 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
