- CV030-007002 Church
Description
Marked 'Fort', with a 'Church' indicated within it, on the OS Fair Plan and OS 1836 ed. Today it comprises a raised approximately circular area (int. diam. c. 47.4m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a much modified external fosse. Bank denuded to internal ground level except at E. At NE the track of the original bank can be traced following a different angle to that of the modernised bank indicating that the original enclosed area may have been somewhat smaller. Modern roadway encloses site at N. Recently renovated early 19th-century Church of Ireland chapel and a few late 19th and 20th-century burials within the enclosed area. Davies (1948, 115) recorded that 'there were formerly two chapels, perhaps side by side'. He also noted part of an ashlar coping and a round-headed window arch, perhaps Romanesque or later in date, within the graveyard. 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

Description
