What is recorded here
Keenagh holds a vast circular fort with two deep earthen banks and a wide ditch between them. The green has strangled the stones and soil until no one can see what lives inside. The fairies likely finished building the chamber before humans arrived to forget it.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 47m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with intervening wide, deep fosse. Densely overgrown with vegetation rendering inspection impossible.
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.
