What is recorded here

Mature trees now hide half the thirty-two-metre circle, but a low earthen bank and shallow ditch still mark the edge where human hands shaped Drumlark. The fort has lost much of its clarity to fields and forgetting, yet the surviving curve suggests a place strong enough to be built, defended, and remembered. What is missing has not stopped the land from keeping its shape.

A much-disturbed, raised circular area (int. diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a low earthen bank identifiable only from NNE-S-SSW, and a fosse discernible only at E. A field boundary running N-S divides the site into two unequal portions. The smaller portion W of this is the site of a plantation of mature deciduous trees. 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
