What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted traces of a fosse from N-E-S. From SW-W-N the outer face of the bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary and has a modern external trench. Break in bank at E presumably represents original entrance. A large flat stone (H 0.5m; dims, 1m x 1m) lies in the interior 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
