What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Farrangarve, County Cavan: an almost circular raised area about forty-two metres across, enclosed by a low earthen bank, its entrance no longer identifiable. Coniferous trees have since been planted in the field, hiding the ring from ground level. What is certain is the shape and the burial beneath timber and shadow; what is wonder is whether the fort still holds its circle, waiting for someone to walk it barefoot at dusk.

An earlier report (OPW 1974) described an almost circular raised area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a low earthen embankment. Original entrance position was not identifiable. The field in which the site is located has been planted with coniferous trees. Not visible at ground level. 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
