What is recorded here

Marianne and her daughter visited the Cloghballybeg fairy fort, a circular earthen ring in County Cavan. They walked its low bank under an open sky, touched the weathered stone and imagined the people who lived inside. The child called it a forgotten kitchen, while Marianne heard a small drum in the wind. They left behind a ribbon tied to a stone, not to claim the place but to remember that it had spoken to them.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a low, much-denuded bank of earth and stone. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded traces of an external fosse from SE-S-SW. 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
