What is recorded here
Half a metre of raised earth still marks the circle where Lisdaran kept its boundary. The fort sits just south of the drumlin summit, waiting for someone to remember the door that ploughs and rain have erased.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated just S of the summit of a drumlin hill. Remains comprise a circular area (diam. 27.1m) raised to between 0.5m and 0.9m above external ground level. Enclosing elements have been levelled. 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.
