What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for humans. That is the local warning. They are for the old residents who never left. The circle is complete, the boundary is set, and the exclusion is clear. Keep your distance and the fort keeps its secrets.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 20.2m) enclosed by a very low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse which is only identifiable from NW-N. The site is further enclosed by modern field boundaries from N-S-NW. 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.
