What is recorded here

That is a fairy fort in Lisgar, Cavan. It stands on a drumlin, has a round grassy middle, an earthen bank and an outer ditch. People may have lived there, feared it or simply walked past it. The ground still holds the shape of that choice.

Situated on top of a drumlin, an oval wood (dims c. 110m NNW-SE; c. 55m ENE-WSW) is depicted here on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and an oval field is represented on the 1908 edition. A circular grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by what appears to be a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of base c. 8m) and an outer fosse (Wth of top c. 8m) is visible in low winter sunlight on Google images (17/01/2020) and on some earlier Google images. The perimeter is incorporated in the bank of the wood NE-SE and SW-W but it can be clearly seen elsewhere. The enclosure can also be seen on OSI images (2005-2012), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
