What is recorded here

Mortons and Clonandra still drop into myth, yet the fort stands as fact: a twenty-nine-metre circular chamber surrounded by a deep fosse and high earthen bank. Its eastern causeway remains visible beneath vegetation, marking the entrance used by whoever lived there. The surrounding landscape preserves both human memory and natural change, making the fort easier to imagine than to explain.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 29m) enclosed by a wide, deep fosse and substantial earthen bank. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at ESE represents original entrance. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
