What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Drumharid, County Cavan: a raised circular area, about 64 metres across inside a wide low bank. The entrance has vanished under grass and time. A modern field drain cuts the outer bank at the south-east, proving the ground still serves people even when its first purpose fades.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 64m) enclosed by a wide, low bank. A modern field drain has been dug at the external foot of the bank at SE. 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.
