• CV017-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated within a large modern plantation of coniferous trees. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse which was identifiable only from NNW-N-NNE and from SW-S-SSE. Modern laneway skirted the site from W-NW. Original entrance was not recognisable. Internal area was divided into two unequal portions by a modern field boundary running N-S. Not located subsequently. 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

An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a possible entrance feature at NE. Internal area is largely occupied by a modern water tower.

• CV022-020001 Church
  Description

  O'Connell (1927, 124-9) recorded that this is the site of 'Disert Fincheallor Teallachgarneach' parish church which is mentioned in 14th-century documents. The site comprises a large graveyard, oval in plan, (present int. dims. c. 86m NW-SE; c. 60m ENE-WSW) defined by a low earthen bank from SW-N-ENE. From ENE-S-SW the site is defined by a stone wall where a roadway skirts the site. The burials are concentrated at the centre of the enclosed area and here there is also a low tree-covered earthen mound which may represent the last vestiges of the chapel.
