What is recorded here

Mortals may have built the fort, but the fairies took it back. They stripped the entrance, buried the gates under moss and widened the ring until human tools could no longer measure it. What remains is a low earthen circle, dense with vegetation and proud in the way that belongs to fairies. Killagarbet gave it up, not through forgetting, but through permission.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area 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
