What is recorded here

Thirty-eight metres of compacted earth still mark the Lisnaglea fort, though farm walls have swallowed its eastern entrance and boundary lines have cut through its ancient defence. The ring remains a closed circle of human intention, waiting for the lost gate to be imagined rather than measured.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 38.3m) enclosed by a bank and fosse which has been removed at NE and incorporated into the field boundary from SE-W-NNW. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
