What is recorded here
Large oval area (int. dims. 49m N-S; 42.5m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank with an external fosse and low counterscarp bank best preserved from NW-N-NE. A level area (Wth 2.4m) lies outside of this again and is encircled by a third bank which is planted with trees and may be a later landscape feature. It is accompanied by an external fosse. The counterscarp bank is best preserved from NW-N-NE. Corresponding breaks in all three banks at S may represent original entrance, although there are no accompanying causeways.
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.
