What is recorded here

Mud and muscle built a forty-metre circle in Killyfassy, large enough for a family, a herd, or a small proud life. Quarrying bit through the northeast side and took half the shape, but the remaining bank still rises above the grass like a forgotten breath. The entrance has vanished under vegetation, denying easy entry to anyone who arrives with tools or certainty. What is left refuses to explain itself, holding its ground in the soil while the missing half disappears into human hunger.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a low earthen bank. The NE half of the site has been destroyed as a result of quarrying. Original entrance not recognisable. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
