What is recorded here
Mortons and Cavan: Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Duncollog stands out as a distinctive cultural landmark. The story above captures its essential character and local significance.
An earlier report (OPW 1968) noted a small circular area (int. diam. 26.3m) defined by a very low scarp, presumably representing the perimeter. Situated just SSW of the summit of a high drumlin hill. Site has been levelled.
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.
