What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings built by humans, often long before written records. They may have served as farmsteads, ritual places, boundaries or shelters. The true purpose depends on what survived at the site.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 31m N-S) enclosed by a partially denuded earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse. Break in bank at SE 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
