What is recorded here

Marianne and the fairies loved that place. They danced inside the circle until dawn, drinking milk and eating honey. Marianne kissed the strongest man she saw and bore three children who became kings of Ireland. The fairies vanished before noon, leaving no trace except a thin gold line around the fort.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial, although partly denuded, earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse which has been largely infilled. Break in bank at NE with accompanying causeway, represents original entrance. Possible Man-made underground passage within internal area (CV005-021002-). 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
