What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human, but they remember the shape of the story told about them. This is the kind of place where that boundary stops mattering. The facts remove the magic; they do not explain it.

Situated on the summit of a high drumlin hill. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with wide, deep, partly waterlogged outer fosses. Original entrance was at SSE. Site has since been levelled. 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
