Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Blackhills Lower

Fairy fort in Blackhills Lower, County Cavan. A raised circular area, about nineteen metres north-south and eighteen east-west, enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide fosse. The northeast, south and west-southwest sections have been recut and carry a modern external bank. The original entrance has disappeared. Inside the northern bank lie the remains of a small rectangular house site, perhaps a dwelling, a workshop or a forgotten chamber. People may have lived there, tended fire, argued, loved and vanished. The earth keeps the shape while memory leaves it empty.
