What is recorded here

Depicted as a tree-ring on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam.34m) enclosed by a much-denuded, narrow, low earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse. Wide break in bank at NE may represent original entrance. Internal area has been planted with conifers. Most likely a rath later planted with trees. 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
