Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrickavee

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and others lived inside comparable Cavan rings, yet the fairy label still shadows the bashers.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 24m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank. From N-E-SE this 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
