What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by two low earthen banks with intervening wide berm (Wth 10-12m) and a partly waterlogged external fosse. A modern field boundary replaces the fosse from NW-N-ESE. External bank also replaced by field boundary throughout most of its circuit. Inner bank levelled from WNW-N-ESE but outline may still be traced. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
