What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cullin, County Cavan: a 55-metre circular enclosure with an earthen bank and fosse, now halved by a field boundary and partly levelled. The entrance has vanished, but the perimeter still shadows the ground. People may have lived there, feared it, or simply passed it by; the earth keeps its shape regardless.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 55m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse. Site is bisected by a field boundary running SSE-NNE. The area W of this has been almost completely levelled but outline of perimeter may still be distinguished. The enclosing features E of field boundary have also been partially levelled. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
