Recorded monuments

• CV021-058 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  An earlier description (OPW 1968) described a raised oval area (int. dims. c. 47m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Original entrance may have been at SE. Site has been levelled. 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

• CV021-059 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank with wide, deep external fosse. Bank has been levelled from NE-E-SE. Fosse has been infilled from S-W-N. 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

• CV021-060001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Although the site has been levelled, the outline of its enclosing features may still be distinguished. An earlier report (OPW 1968) described it as a raised subcircular area (int. dims. c. 40m N-W; c. 35m E-W) enclosed by two massive earthen banks with outer fosses. Original entrance not recognisable. Davies (1948, 118-9) believed Capt. Hugh O'Reilly transformed the rath into a 'bawn of sods' in 1601 (CV021-060002-). He speculated that it 'was originally single-ringed but was reconstructed with a second ring separated from the fosse by a wide berm'. Not visible 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

• CV021-060002 Bawn
  Description

  In 1601 Captain Hugh O'Reilly erected a 'bawn of sods' at this location. It has been suggested (Davies 1948a, 118-9) that Lisgannon rath (CV021-060001-) may have been modified to accommodate this bawn, a second bank and wide berm having been added to the pre-existing bank and fosse of the rath. 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: 22 December 2008
