• CV031-004 Linear earthwork
  Description

  This portion of the 'Worm Ditch or Black Pig's Race' as marked on OS 1912 ed. commences at a stream at the base of a high, steep- sided hill in Ardkill More townland. It runs for c. 1,150m approximately NW-SE along the W and S of the hillside. At the base of the hill in Largan townland it changes direction and runs approximately E-W for c. 750m terminating at the E side of a N-S orientated stream in Drumbarry townland. No definite surface remains of the site was identifiable in Ardkill townland N of an active quarry, but the rock-cut ditch (Wth c. 3.5m; D c. 1.3m) has been recorded in the N face of the quarry (Campbell 1997, 3). The ditch is also visible (Wth c. 4m; D c. 1.5m) in the S face of the quarry, while the bank (Wth 5-7m; H at W c. 2m) with a ditch (Wth c. 4m; D c. 1.3m) on the uphill or E side continues S of the quarry (L c. 700m), veering eastwards to the boundary with Largan (ibid. 4). In Largan townland the site is marked by stretches of a much-denuded earthen rampart (max. Wth 7m; max. H 0.9m) with remains of a fosse at its NNE foot. The rampart and fosse are much disturbed by modern field drains. A rath is built against the S face of the rampart in Largan townland (CV031-047----). For the final c. 75m the site is marked by a narrow, modern tarred road.

• CV031-047 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  An earlier report (OPW 1974) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse. From NW-N-NE a portion of the adjacent linear earthwork 'The Worm Ditch or Black Pig's Race' (CV031-004----/CV032-012----) was utilised as a rampart and at NNE the fosse had been cut through the earlier earthwork. Original entrance was not recognisable. Site has been levelled. 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
