What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and slight remains of a wide, deep fosse accompanied by a low counterscarp bank at its outer lip. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. Inside the bank at W is a small approximately circular depression (diam. c. 2.8m; D 0.3m) of unknown significance. Site is 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
