What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Brusky, County Cavan. A circular earthwork about thirty-eight metres across, a road now cuts through it and a field boundary has swallowed part of the ring. The entrance is gone. What remains is a low ridge of soil, divided and diminished, yet still shaped like a room built for someone who no longer comes.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a much-disturbed low earthen bank. The site is divided into two unequal portions by a modern roadway running NW-SE. The larger portion, NE of this, has been levelled. From SSE-W-WNW the perimeter has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
