What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumlion (clanmahon By.) stands as a raised circular area nearly forty metres across, marked Fort on old surveys and still visible through levelled soil. It may have housed people, hosted rituals, or simply resisted forgetting. The land remembers shape even when memory fades.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40.7m) enclosed by the outline of a bank and fosse. Perimeter levelled but outline still identifiable from W-N-S. Elsewhere it has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. 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
