What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumcrow (drumcarban Ed): a subrectangular enclosure, about 36 metres by 27 metres inside the surviving bank, with the River Erne taking the southeast side and a modern field boundary replacing what the water and plough removed elsewhere. The original entrance has disappeared, but the shape and position suggest a defended domestic place rather than a ceremonial one: a threshold, a yard, and a boundary drawn against the river.

Raised subrectangular area (int. dims. 36.3m NW-SE; 27.4m NE-SW) enclosed by fragmentary remains of a low earthen bank with shallow external fosse. From ESE-S-SSW both bank and fosse are absent where the River Erne skirts the site, and have been levelled and replaced by a modern field boundary from NNE-E-SSE. 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
