Recorded monuments

• CV017-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a shelf on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin, where it is overlooking an E-W section of the Annalee River which is c. 250m to the S. This is a raised circular and overgrown area (diam. 34m E-W) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5.2-6.1m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 2.7m at E to 3.3m at W) with some trees that is separated by an outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.1 at W to 8.2m at E; Wth of base 1.4-2m; ext. D 1.4-1.8m) from an outer flat-topped bank (Wth of base 4-5.5m; Wth of top 1.3m; ext. H 1.5-1.7m). The entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 2m) and a causeway (Wth of top 2.8m; H 0.2m) are at SSE, but a gap through the outer bank (Wth of base 1.2m) here is for drainage to a field drain outside the outer bank SE-SW. This suggests that outer bank might not be original. This is a National Monument in state ownership (NM00585) and it is accessed by a path from the R188 Cootehill to Cavan road c. 350m to the E, and along the N side of a field bank. 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: 27 July 2018

• CV017-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a 'Fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circular copse on the 1908 edition. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 29.2m) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with an outer fosse or drain at NE. There are two breaks in the bank at W (Wth 6m; 2m) leading into a path between earthen banks and hedges that extends off to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 September 2020

• CV017-043 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on a SE-facing slope in 1990 (SMR file). This is a narrow stone (dims of base 0.43m x c. 0.1m; H 1.83m) aligned NW-SE and leaning severely to one side. There is a small hole (diam. 3.5cm) penetrating the stone 0.35m from the top and another hole (diam. 3cm) on its crest. The stone may have served as a gatepost at one time, and it had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 5 October 2020
