What is recorded here

Drumlon holds a raised circular platform twenty-five metres across, bounded by an earthen bank and wide waterlogged fosse. The eastern entrance remains visible beside a modern counterscarp built from excavation spoil. The shape suggests people once lived, excluded others, and disappeared into the story called a fairy fort.

Raised almost circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) enclosed by an earthen bank and wide fosse which has been partially recut and is now waterlogged. Spoil from this excavation forms a modern counterscarp bank at the outer lip of the fosse. Original entrance at E. 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
