What is recorded here

Drumhirk hides a forgotten fort beside a Cavan stream. It vanished from ordinary sight, yet the fort still belongs to the land. The earth kept the shape when human memory let go.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated in fairly level low-lying ground to the N of a stream. Not visible at ground level. 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
