• CV039-012 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
  Description

  Situated in rolling land 300m NE of Lough Ramor. In the mid-1960s, when the published plan was made (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972), this tomb, incorporated in a field fence, was quite ruined. It consisted of the remains of a gallery, 2.2m long, aligned SSE-NNW. A stone 1.3m high, seemed to mark the N end of the gallery. Three orthostats formed its more easterly side, the tallest 0.8m high. Opposite these a displaced slab protruded from the fence. The remains appeared to be those of a portal tomb. Some fifteen years ago the tomb was considerably damaged, however some structure still remains. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 135-6, No. 39) 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 See linked document with details from Ruaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin, Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume III.

• CV039-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.7m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance was probably at SE. At the centre of the enclosed area is a low, roughly circular platform of earth and stone (diam. c. 8.5m) which presumably represents a hut site. 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
