What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Clonloskan, County Cavan, is a worn earthen ring beside the River Erne. Its shallow bank and broken entrance suggest a place where people once drew a line between inside and outside. The river may have carried life in and taken it out again. What remains is a circle large enough to hold several humans, quiet enough to forget they were there.

Situated adjacent to the N bank of the River Erne. Raised circular area (int. dims. 33.2m NE-SW; 32.6m NW-SE) enclosed by a very poorly preserved earthen bank and slight remains of a fosse identifiable only from SE-S. Break in bank at NE may represent 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
