What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 37m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse identifiable from SE-W-NE, outside of which is a slight counterscarp bank identifiable from NNW-NE and at SW. Modern farm buildings encroach on the site at E and the fosse has been infilled here as a consequence. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that a break in bank with accompanying causeway at SE represented original entrance. 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
