Site is almost completely obscured by vegetation. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described it as a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which is clearly defined from N-S-WSW and poorly preserved elsewhere. Bank also poorly preserved from WSW-W-N. Break in bank at ENE probably represents original entrance. Indications of a possible souterrain in the internal area (CV022-031002) 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 - CV022-031002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV022-031002-. Projecting into the interior of Ralaghan rath (CV022-031001-) from the bank at W. A long, shallow depression (L 10.5m; Wth 1.9m; D 0.7m) with a second depression (L 2.4m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.7m) adjoining its N side, probably represent the site of a souterrain. 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.

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.
