Recorded monuments

• CV037-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Levelled in the early 1980s (local information). An earlier report (OPW 1970) described a much-disturbed raised circular area (diam. c. 40m).All that survives to indicate the presence of the site is a curve in the field boundary at E. Otherwise, nothing visible at ground level. 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

• CV037-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a shallow fosse. The fosse has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary from ESE-S-W and has a low, apparently modern, counterscarp bank at its outer lip. Wide break in bank at E presumably represents original entrance. A large pond occupies the northern area of the interior. 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
