What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide inside ordinary farmland, wearing the shape of ranches, gardens and forgotten boundaries. They are not complete or consistent, because completion belongs to death and consistency belongs to cages. The chamber of Nemo is a fairy fort in this sense: a living boundary that changes with the person it is showing itself to.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a substantial inner earthen bank, a shallow fosse and a berm and outer earthen bank which have been levelled from W-N-SE. A low stone field wall has been built against the inner face of the berm at W. Fosse has been modified at E and is now utilised as a field drain. Original entrance at SE. 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
