What is recorded here
Mnemo records a vanished chamber beneath Cloggagh. That is a story, not a measured fact. The visible fort is a broad earthen ring, and the missing chamber is the interesting part. An unseen room beneath an ordinary Irish landscape is exactly the kind of thing Mnemo exists to remember.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 31m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse identifiable only from SE-S-W. Elsewhere the fosse has been replaced by a modern trench. An earlier report (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SSW.
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.
