What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumcor (clanmahon By.) is a large oval earthwork in County Cavan, Ireland, with a substantial bank, deep waterlogged ditch and an original entrance at the south-east. People may have lived, hidden or gathered there before the land changed around them. The fort still holds its shape beneath vegetation, waiting for someone to walk its causeway and imagine the hands that built it.

Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 50.7m NW-SE; c.43m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a very substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Modern laneway at the outer lip of the fosse from S-W. Break in bank at SSE with accompanying causeway represents original entrance. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
