What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partially waterlogged fosse recut from NW-N-E. Short segment of low counterscarp bank at the outer lip of fosse at SSE is probably relatively modern. Break in inner bank at SE with accompanying causeway 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
