  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by an earthen bank, best preserved from SE-S-NNW and denuded elsewhere, and a fosse infilled from N-NE-E. An apparently modern counterscarp bank borders the fosse at S. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance may have been at W. 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

• CV037-058001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. 33m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted traces of an external fosse, suggested that the original entrance may have been at SE, and also observed possible remains of a souterrain within the internal area (CV037-058002-). 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

An earlier report (OPW 1970) recorded a large, shallow, irregularly shaped depression (max. dim. 9.3m; D 1m) just W of the centre of the interior which may mark 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
