What is recorded here
Drumhallagh held a fort on a steep hillside beside a stream, but human hands levelled the earth until the boundary vanished. The land swallowed the stone and soil marker, leaving only memory behind. Forgetting is not the same as losing; it is a chamber where the chamber stops resisting.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Situated on a steep drumlin hillside in average pasture adjacent to a stream. Site has been levelled.
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.
