What is recorded here

Lisnahederna holds a faded ringfort where a low earthen bank still marks a thirty-five-metre circle, though farm boundaries have worn much of it away. The strangest feature is a V-shaped cut running from the centre to the western edge, possibly a drainage channel, a boundary marker or the work of hands that no longer remember the shape they made. In that quiet country of fields and forgotten lines, even an unexplained groove belongs to the living land.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low earthen bank modified and incorporated into the field boundary from NNW-N-E, and vague traces of a fosse identifiable only at SE. An unexplained V-shaped depression, defined by slight earthen banks on either side, extends out from the centre of the interior to the perimeter at W. 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
