Recorded monuments

• CV042-017001 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A rectangular structure aligned NW-SE is shown within the W portion of the enclosed area. The site comprises a large, oval-shaped, natural earthen mound with scarped sides and flattened summit (dims of summit c. 39.5m NE-SW; c. 28m NW-SW). In the SW quadrant there is a low, narrow, stone-built circular tower standing on a larger rounded stone structure which appears to be a folly probably of late 18th or early 19th-century construction. The monument is densely overgrown with vegetation rendering inspection difficult. Davies (1947a, 86) described this as a 14th or 15th-century castle 'of keep and bawn type'. However there is no documentary or archaeological evidence to validate this claim. 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
