What is recorded here
Clear water flows through Edergole, but the fort has disappeared from human memory. This is not a warning about danger. It is a reminder that Edergole is not complete in the visitor's mind. The missing part is the one that makes the difference.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 47m) enclosed by a bank and a fosse which have been modernised and incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area has been planted with trees.
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.
