Description
Raised subcircular area enclosed by slight traces of a low earthen bank and faint traces of a fosse. The site was almost certainly originally circular (original int. diam. c. 28.5m). The bank is denuded to the level of the interior from SSW-N-ENE. Elsewhere it has been modified in relatively modern times and incorporated into the field boundary. It is accompanied by a modern external trench. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
