What is recorded here

Fortland holds a vanished circle where human hands shaped earth into a boundary for living. Trees have swallowed the entrance and the eastern bank has faded into grass, but the rath remains a breath-held place: large enough to turn around inside, quiet enough to forget why you stopped. What is missing has not stopped arriving. The fort still completes itself in the body, drawing memory into its gap and measuring against the shape you once knew.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 68m) enclosed by a low earthen bank which is no longer identifiable from NE-SE. Original entrance not recognisable. The rath 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
