What is recorded here

Mud, memory and myth are entangled here. The fort is real, the fairy claim is a story, and both are true in their own way. That is what makes it valuable.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 30.4m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse encompassed by a modern counterscarp bank. Break in bank at NE with accompanying causeway 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
