Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the SE shoulder of a hillside in rough mountainous terrain. Levelled in the early 1980s, the site is now partly occupied by a modern dwelling-house. It was known locally as a 'stone fort'. 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

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Sited on the SE slope of a mountain. Circular mound of earth and stone (diam. 11.9m; H 0.65m) encircled by a wide, shallow, external fosse which has been infilled from WNW-N-NE where a modern stone field boundary skirts the site. The mound is largely flat-topped except for a low irregularly shaped rise in the centre.

'This structure, perhaps more a hut than a hut site , is D-shaped in plan and is built primarily with sandstone blocks, though a small amount of limestone is used in the upper courses. The walls stand to between 1.1m and 2m high and the interior measures 2m NW-SE and 3m NE-SW. The internal area is covered with loose stone, which has presumably fallen from the walls. The walls are generally 60cm wide and a clearly defined entrance, 50cm wide, is found a the northeast end of the northwest wall.' The above description is derived from R. Sherlock, Northwest Co.

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.
