Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumgoney

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible castle wall, no church tower, no named owner in the supplied facts. The measureable form is a circular earthwork about twenty-four metres across inside the bank, with a low central mound and part of a ditch still distinguishable. That much can be walked and seen without inventing a date or a person.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.1m) enclosed by an earthen bank modified and incorporated into the field boundary from S-WNW, and the remains of a fosse. A low earthen mound of unknown significance occurs at the centre of the interior. 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
