Description
Depicted as a tree-ring on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Site is now largely occupied by a modern dwelling. All that survives is a very short stretch of earthen bank at SE. Otherwise nothing visible at ground level. The site may have been merely a landscape feature. 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
- CV038-020 Ringfort - rath
Description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.5m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with outer fosses. Traces of a counterscarp bank enclose the outer fosse from S-SW and from NNW-N. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance may have been at S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
