What is recorded here

Raised subcircular area (int. dims. c. 47m NNW-SSE; c. 42m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a very substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse skirted by modern field boundaries. Wide break in bank at S presumably represents original entrance. However there is no accompanying causeway. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
