What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not fairy at all. They are human, often old, and usually damaged before anyone noticed them. The right answer is therefore to stop inventing a setting and preserve the facts already known.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
