What is recorded here

Raised oval area (int. dims. 64m E-W; 52mN-S) enclosed by an earthen bank. An earlier report(OPW 1970) noted traces of a fosse from SSW-W-N. The outer face of the bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. It has a modern stone facing in places. 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

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