What is recorded here

Fairy forts are no such thing. They are human homes, farms and refuges from another time. This is one of them. A circle of earth on a hill, built by living people, occupied or abandoned, forgotten, and now erased. The fairies are only the shape of the forgotten, given life because people refused to believe ordinary hands could have done it.

Marked 'Fort' on all OS eds. Situated on the summit of a drumlin hill. Davies (ITA Survey1942)) described a raised circular area (int. diam. c.28m) enclosed by a low earthen bank. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
