What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Clonervy, County Cavan: a raised circular area, 31.7 metres across inside the bank, with a fosse and a probable southern entrance. People may have lived there, kept stock or marked territory before the name changed; the earth still holds the shape of that choice. The eastern half has worn thin, but the ring remains clear enough to walk around and imagine.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.7m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which is poorly preserved at E half of site. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at S probably represents original entrance. 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
