  Description

  Raised circular area (int. dims. 44m NW-SE; 43.5m NE-SW) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a narrow, deep fosse which has been modified and utilised as a field drain. Original entrance was probably at SE where the bank barely rises above the enclosed area. Modern roadway runs N-S through the site dividing it into two roughly equal portions. 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
