What is recorded here

Half a hundred paces across, the earth still holds its shape in Drumlarney, a raised circle marked by a broken bank and a faint ditch that appears only when viewed from the west. The entrance has vanished beneath grass and time, yet the boundary remains clear enough to walk around and imagine the lives that once turned it. Local people called it a fairy fort, not in dismissal but in wonder, acknowledging that the place still resists easy explanation.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 50.4m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which is only visible from WNW-NNE and has been almost totally infilled here. Many breaks in the bank. 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
