What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumroe, County Cavan: an oval earthen chamber, 63.5 metres north-south and 50 metres east-west, with a bank and ditch except at the west. Its southern entrance is a blocked break with a causeway, as if the fort closed its own door. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply refused to walk inside after dark.

Raised oval area (int. dims. 63.5m N-S; 50m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and well-defined fosse absent at W only. Original entrance at S represented by a blocked-up break in the bank with accompanying causeway. 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
