What is recorded here

Killycrone holds a twenty-one-metre earthen ring where a modern trench cut through the ancient fosse, yet the southern bank still rises like a dormant ridge. The northern gap marks the entrance, inviting entry into a space where human hands shaped the earth before memory faded. The fort remains half-hidden, its boundary rewritten by later work but its circular intention unchanged.

Raised almost circular area (int. diam. c. 21.3m) enclosed by an earthen bank which is quite substantial from SSE-SSW, but denuded elsewhere, and a fosse infilled from SE-W-N and replaced by a modern trench from N-E-SSE. Break in bank at NNW probably represents original entrance. 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
