What is recorded here
Drumamry holds a broad earthen ring where human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The field drained the old ditch, and the entrance vanished beneath grass and traffic of water. A fairy fort is a clever name for forgotten architecture, but the measure is human: twenty-seven metres across, large enough to exclude, protect, or remember.
Raised circular area (int. dims. 27.4m N-S; 26.6m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which has been modified and incorporated into the field drainage system. 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.
