Description
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a substantial, although partly denuded, earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted vague traces of a wide, shallow fosse and that a modern drystone facade had been applied to the external face of the bank. Break in bank at SE probably represents original entrance. Internal area has been planted with deciduous trees and is 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
