Although the site has been levelled, the outline of its enclosing features is still identifiable. It formerly comprised a raised oval area (int. dims. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 43m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep, waterlogged fosse. When first recorded, the original entrance was not recognisable (OPW 1968). No visible remains 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

Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 28m NNE-SSW; c. 35m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse which is identifiable only from NW-N-S where it has been recently infilled with field-clearance debris. Original entrance may have been at NW or S where there are breaks in the bank with accompanying causeways. Internal area densely overgrown with vegetation. 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

Raised circular area (int. diam. 28.4m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank best preserved from NW-N-NE, and a wide, deep fosse which has been broadened at SW to form a watering-hole for cattle.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
