What is recorded here

Marianne and Cleo walked past the hidden ring, where a shallow ditch still marks the abandoned laneway. They skipped the warning about fairies and tested the edge of the earth. Cleo threw a stone into the grass and Marianne chased it back before it disappeared. The fort kept its secret, but it let them play inside its circle for one hour.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 27m) enclosed by an earthen bank. Original entrance not recognisable. Site was formed by scarping a natural knoll. Bordering the site from SSW-W-NW is a much overgrown, wide, shallow ditch, apparently the remains of a disused laneway. 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
