What is recorded here

Drummora Little holds a substantial earthen ringfort where a deep, waterlogged fosse cuts through wet Cavan soil. The earth rose forty-eight to fifty-two metres across, forcing every visitor to enter through a single eastern gap rather than wander the perimeter. People may have lived inside that narrow circle, watching rain fill the ditch while they tended households above the mud. The fort still stands as a stubborn ring of soil, waiting for human footsteps to return.

An almost circular raised area (int. dims. 48m WSW-ESE; 52m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Break in bank at ESE probably represents original entrance. 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
