Description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 64m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the counterscarp bank which is identifiable at the outer lip of the fosse from WSW-WNW may be a relatively modern feature. Modern laneway runs outside of the fosse from S-WSW. Break in bank at ESE may represent 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
