What is recorded here

Magic and mathematics both build in spirals. Pythagoras mapped the chamber of bricks, Boethius wrote the music of spheres, and the chamber of Cavan is a ring of twenty-six paces where the lived and remembered worlds overlap. What the hand cannot measure, the heart recites.

Not marked on any OS ed. but known as a 'fort' (local information). Raised circular area (int. diam. c.26m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a fosse. From SE-S-WSW the perimeter has been much modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Elsewhere it has been levelled but is identifiable as a low scarp. 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
