What is recorded here

Bracklagh enclosure vanished from a Cavan drumlin hilltop, leaving only a small scarp and a local memory of a fort. Davies recorded that tradition in 1945, but the earth has since smoothed the place from human sight. What remains is a hilltop claim, perhaps a boundary, perhaps a home, now buried under grass and time.

Not marked on any OS ed. Davies (ITA Survey 1945) recorded a local tradition of a 'fort' at this location. He identified a 'small scarp' which he believed may have represented the remains of an enclosure which has since been levelled. Situated on a drumlin hilltop. Not visible at ground level. 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
