What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clonraw is a raised oval area in County Cavan, Ireland, measuring 36.4m NNE-SSW and 31m WNW-ESE, enclosed by a low earthen bank that survives only from NE-E-S. A modern laneway and trench cut across the site NNE-SSW, and the original entrance has become unrecognisable. People may have lived, hidden or marked this place before the laneway split it; the remaining bank still holds the shape of that older use.
