What is recorded here
Lenanavragh holds a broken fairy fort where a modern roadway has cut through the ancient earthen bank. The remaining circle measures thirty-three metres across, preserving a raised floor and vague ditch traces despite the lost entrance. Humans may have lived inside this small world before cars arrived to swallow half its boundary.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 33m) enclosed by a low earthen bank running from SE-S-N, and vague traces of a fosse. Perimeter has been destroyed from N-E-SE and the site is bordered by a modern roadway. 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.
