The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in Castlecosby Lough. Davies (1942, 20; ITA Survey 1942) described a mound c.1.5m above the water-level with 0.9m of this depth comprising habitation refuse, stones and packwork. He also noted that it contained a superimposed cobbled floor and sherds of what appeared to be medieval pottery. Not located.
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.
