What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Raised oval area (int. dims. 63.2m WNW-ESE; 51.2m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank which has been recently modified and incorporated into the field boundary from N-NNE-E and from SSE-S-W. In addition, a wide cutting has been dug through the perimeter at SW. Original entrance not recognisable. Field-clearance boulders lie at the external foot of the bank at NW. 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
