What is recorded here

Knockanoark holds a broad earthen ring where a forgotten gate disappeared beneath soil and time. Its western edge now wears modern drystone braces, yet the ancient bank still circles the grass like a boundary drawn for visibility rather than siege. The fort does not explain itself; it waits for someone to stop measuring and listen for the life that shaped it.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 33m NNW-SSE; 31.2m ENE-WSW) enclosed by an earthen bank and traces of a fosse. At W an apparently modern section of drystone walling has been built against the outer face of the bank. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
