Recorded monuments

• CV038-060 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 58m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank with some remains of a fosse identifiable from E-SE-S. Original entrance not recognisable. 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

• CV038-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. 33m) enclosed by two earthen banks with a wide, deep, partly waterlogged, intermediate fosse and vague traces of an external fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted that the intermediate fosse had been considerably modified and furthermore suggested that this fosse together with the outer bank and fosse are more recent features attributed to the later development of the site as a tree-ring. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. 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

• CV038-062001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. 33m) enclosed by a low, much-denuded earthen bank. Two earthen banks extend outside the scarp from ESE-N-NNE. These are later features probably dating to the period in which the site was transformed into a tree-ring. A modern field boundary extends outside the scarp from NNE-E-ESE. Original entrance not recognisable. Possible remains of a souterrain (CV038-062002-)in the internal area. 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
