• CV039-001001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 60m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone which survives only from ENE-E-S and is replaced elsewhere by modern stone walls. Faced internally with drystone masonry. Original entrance not recognisable. An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a long, shallow depression of unknown significance inside the bank at ENE. The upper portion of a rotary quern found at the site was presented by the landowner to the National Museum of Ireland. 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
