Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lismore Demesne

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible fort remains at this site, but the circular shape of the field and the local name suggest a ringfort may have stood here.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 43.6m) enclosed by slight remains of an outer earthen bank, an intermediate fosse into which a deep drain has been dug in recent times, and a substantial inner earthen bank. Original entrance at E. 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
