What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Croaghan, County Cavan: an almost circular raised area, about 50 metres north-south and 45.6 metres east-west, enclosed by a low earthen bank visible from the south-southwest through the north to the north-northeast. A field boundary cuts it into two unequal parts, the smaller southeastern portion levelled but its outline still traceable, while the original entrance has disappeared. At the centre sits an L-shaped depression that may mark a man-made underground passage, giving the ring a hidden chamber beneath its quiet earth.

An almost circular raised area (int. dims. 50m N-S; 45.6m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank identifiable from SSW-N-NE. The site is divided into two unequal portions by a field boundary running NW-SW. The smaller portion, SE of the field boundary, has been levelled but the outline of the perimeter may still be traced. Original entrance not recognisable. An L-shaped depression at the centre of the internal area probably represents the site of a Man-made underground passage (1232). 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
