What is recorded here

Drummyouth holds a thirty-eight-metre circular fort where a substantial earthen bank rises beside a deep, waterlogged ditch. Its eastern causeway still marks the original entrance, inviting people into a space shaped for defence and daily life long before written records. The outer bank has mostly vanished except at the northeast and south, leaving the inner chamber exposed to rain and memory.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a very substantial inner earthen bank, a wide, deep, waterlogged intermediate fosse and fragmentary remains of an outer bank identifiable only at NE and S. Break in inner bank with accompanying causeway at E 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
