What is recorded here

Lisnabrinnia holds a thirty-metre oval of raised earth where a shallow ditch still curves beneath the grass. The bank resists easy viewing because it is so low and the entrance has vanished entirely. Humans may have built this small fortress before forgetting it, while fairies completed the deception by refusing to leave it empty.

Raised almost oval area (int. dims. c. 30m NE-SW; c. 21m NW-SE) enclosed by a low earthen bank identifiable only from S-W-N and a shallow fosse distinguishable from E-S-W. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
