What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lurganboy, County Cavan, is an earthen ringfort with a hidden collapsed passage inside. Its entrance has vanished, but the bank and faint ditch still mark the oval where humans built, entered, and disappeared from memory. The land keeps the shape of that forgotten traffic, waiting for someone to notice the hole beneath the grass.

Raised oval area (int. dims. 28.5m NNE-SSW; 24.5m WNW-ESE) enclosed by an earthen bank and slight traces of a fosse identifiable only from SW-N-NE. Original entrance not recognisable. Within the internal area is a possible collapsed Man-made underground passage (CV023-045002-). 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
