What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen ringforts abandoned before written records. In Curraghanoe, a low bank and shallow ditch still mark a circular home or sanctuary. The broken seam at the south east preserves the entrance used by the people who shaped the earth.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 28.2m) enclosed by the remains of a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. A modern field boundary has been built against the external face of bank from NE-SE, and fosse has been infilled. Break in bank at SE represents original entrance. 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
