What is recorded here

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated in low-lying ground adjacent to a stream which is an unusual siting for a rath. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 19m N-S) on a low natural mound. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted a low counterscarp bank and shallow, partly waterlogged fosse enclosing the site from N-S-WNW. A stream skirts the site from WNW-N. Original entrance may have been at S. 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
