Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 58m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank with some remains of a fosse identifiable from E-SE-S. 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
- CV038-061: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV038-061----. Raised circular area (int. diam. 33m) enclosed by two earthen banks with a wide, deep, partly waterlogged, intermediate fosse and vague traces of an external fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted that the intermediate fosse had been considerably modified and furthermore suggested that this fosse together with the outer bank and fosse are more recent features attributed to the later development of the site as a tree-ring. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. 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
- CV038-062001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV038-062001-. Raised circular area (int. diam. 33m) enclosed by a low, much-denuded earthen bank. Two earthen banks extend outside the scarp from ESE-N-NNE. These are later features probably dating to the period in which the site was transformed into a tree-ring. A modern field boundary extends outside the scarp from NNE-E-ESE. Original entrance not recognisable. Possible remains of a souterrain (CV038-062002-)in the internal area. 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
- CV038-062002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV038-062002-. At Turin rath (CV038-062001-). A subrectangular depression (dims. c. 9m NW-SE; c. 2m NE-SW) within the interior may indicate the site of a souterrain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).

An earlier report (OPW 1970) described a large raised circular area (int. diam. c. 52m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. Original entrance was probably at NE.

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.
