What is recorded here

Kill holds a forty-eight-metre fairy fort where a deep waterlogged fosse still surrounds a raised circular area. People may have entered through the south, walked past a slight outer bank, and used the mud as a trap for anyone chasing them. The earth remains angry about boundaries even when human memory fades.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 48m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a deep, partly waterlogged fosse. An earlier report (OPW 1970) noted a slight counterscarp bank at the outer lip of the fosse from ESE-S. Outer face of bank has been modified and fosse is poorly preserved from S-W-NNE. Original entrance may be at S. 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
