What is recorded here

Thirty-eight metres of raised earth still mark the Drumeeny fort, though men have forgotten whether they built a home or a trap. Three large stones once broke the grass line at the north-east and north-west, perhaps guiding entry or warning it closed. The fairies may have taken the meaning but they left the shape behind, waiting for someone foolish enough to ask what the ring was for.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 38m) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Original entrance may have been at NW or ESE. An earlier report (OPW 1970) recorded a large stone slab protruding above ground level just inside the bank at NE, a large stone standing on edge on the bank at NW and a third large stone lying on the ground beside it. 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
