What is recorded here

Garrysallagh held a large circular fort divided by a road before pasture and time erased its marks. The land still remembers the shape even when human eyes no longer can.

Depicted on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. as a large circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' divided into two unequal portions by a roadway running NNW-ESE. Situated in relatively level pasture-land. 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

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh, likely dating to the early medieval period, is represented on the 1836 and 1876 Ordnance Survey maps as a large circular enclosure split by a roadway. Local tradition associates such sites with supernatural or fairy activity, though specific folklore for this example is not recorded.
