What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Farranseer, County Cavan: a raised circular area, 35.4m across, enclosed by an earthen bank and a faint fosse, its entrance lost to time. Half the ring has been swallowed by field boundaries, yet the remaining curve still marks a place set apart. People may have lived there, loved there, forgotten it, and returned only in story. The earth keeps what memory releases.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 35.4m NNE-SSW; c. 33m WNW-ESE) enclosed by an earthen bank and slight traces of a fosse. Perimeter only identifiable from NE-ESE. From ESE-SSW it has been extensively modified and incorporated into the field boundary. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
