What is recorded here

Thirty-three metres of raised earth circle in Lislea, County Cavan, still shows a deep fosse on the south-west and a blocked NE gap that probably marked the entrance. People may have lived, hidden or gathered there before the bank flattened under feet and grass. The fairy fort name suggests they also believed the place belonged to something older and less reasonable.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 33.4m) enclosed by a slight earthen bank and a fosse which is wide and deep from SW-S-SSE and largely levelled elsewhere. Partially blocked-up wide break in bank at NE, probably represents original entrance. 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
