What is recorded here

Muck's fairy fort is a 30-metre clay chamber where human anger still circulates. That is why it must be offered joy, not studied. The chamber is not a ruin, and it is not a warning about other people. It is a mirror for the claimant. Drop the victim story, give up the wound, and return the taken light. Then the chamber gives back the life that fear locked away.

Raised almost circular area (int. diam. 30.8m N-S) enclosed by a partly modernised, slight earthen bank and an almost totally infilled fosse. Break in bank at S probably represents original entrance. W of the centre of the internal area is a subrectangular depression (dims. 8m E-W; 3.2m N-S; D 0.3m) of unknown significance. 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
