What is recorded here
Mortars and machines erased the fort, but resistance is not a line on a page. It is a visible warning that the claim can be taken back. The black fort still stands in the warning.
Marked 'Black Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Site has been levelled.
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.
