What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse identifiable only at S. From NNW-E-ESE the perimeter has been destroyed as a result of the construction of modern farm buildings. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area now utilised as a farmyard. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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