Green Lough. Davies (ITA Survey 1946) described an almost circular mound (diam. c. 15m) surrounded by a stone kerb with large logs arranged in criss-cross fashion around the side, the gaps being infilled with gravel, sand and peat. Situated c. 30m from the shoreline. Not visited.
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.
