What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 33m) enclosed by two earthen banks. No visible evidence of a fosse. The distance between the banks is c. 2m. External bank is low and survives only for a short stretch at ESE. From WNW-NNW the inner bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance was probably at ENE. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a wide, very shallow depression of unknown significance inside the inner bank running from SSW-N-ENE. 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
