What is recorded here

Fairy fort is gone, erased or buried, but it was a large ring with a bank and an entrance nobody could find. Clonandra still turns past that loss, perhaps remembering the shape or perhaps inventing it.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. An earlier report (OPW 1974) described a raised circular area (int. dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) enclosed by a low, wide earthen bank. Original entrance was not recognisable. Site has been levelled. Not visible at ground level. 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
