Recorded monuments
- CV040-020 Ringfort - rath
Description
Almost completely levelled. Situated on a slight natural rise close to a stream. All that survives are faint traces of a low scarp identifiable from SE-S-W enclosing a roughly circular area (diam. c. 23m). 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
- CV040-021001 Hilltop enclosure
Description
Situated on the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge towards the SE end. It is described as a 'fort' and 'Old Burial Ground' in gothic lettering on the on OS 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a large pear-shaped or D-shaped area (int dims. c. 85m NNE-SSW; c. 72m ENE-WSW) defined by a substantial, although partly denuded, earthen bank (at N: int. H 1m; ext. H 2-2.5m). The NE quadrant is separated from the remainder of the site by portion of a dividing wall (L c. 33m) comprising a single-row of boulders laid end to end extending from the centre. Davies (1948, 115) records that 'The area thus enclosed, hardly a quarter of the rath, is believed to be a graveyard and the site of a church'. Also within the enclosure is the site of a well (CV040-021002-) which has been infilled (local information). 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 revision: 28 August 2017
