What is recorded here

Druminisclin holds a huge oval rath, fifty-eight metres long, where human hands raised an earthen bank before memory faded. Cattle now graze the flattened top while the original entrance vanished beneath soil and time. The fort remains a broad shadow in the Cavan field, waiting for someone to remember what it guarded.

Large oval-shaped raised area (int. dims. c. 58m NW-SE; c. 43m NE-SW) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Perimeter modified and incorporated into the field boundary from ESE-SE and from S-W. Modern field boundary at the outer foot of the bank from NNW-E-ESE. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
