Description
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated at the base of a valley adjacent to a stream. An earlier report (OPW 1977) described a slightly raised, small circular area (int. diam. c. 19m) enclosed by a narrow earthen bank and very slight traces of a fosse. Site has been levelled largely-as a result of the construction of a field boundary running N-S. Nonetheless its outline may still be traced. 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
