What is recorded here
Fairy fort and earthen ringfort in Drummany (tullygarvey By.), County Cavan, Ireland: a raised circular area about 38m across, enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a largely infilled fosse, with the entrance probably at the south. Dense vegetation still smothers the bank, making the fort feel less like a ruin and more like a living threshold: a place where people may have gone in and out for generations before the grass took it back.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a largely infilled fosse. An earlier report suggested that the original entrance was probably at S. Densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
