What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Marahill, County Cavan, is a thirty-metre earthen ring now halved by a field boundary, its shallow ditch visible only from the west. The lost east side may still hide beneath soil and grass, waiting for rain or plough to reveal what the living forgot.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial, although partly denuded, earthen bank and a shallow fosse identifiable only from WNW-NNW. Site is divided into two unequal portions by a field boundary running NNW-SSE, ENE of which there are no visible remains at ground level. 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.
