What is recorded here

Barrow is a low circular earthen mound on the NNE slope of a prominent drumlin ridge in County Cavan, marked as a fort on old surveys. Its bank and shallow internal fosse still trace a wide circle, though the original entrance has vanished. The shape suggests a place where people stood, watched or kept something safe before the land forgot the reason.
