What is recorded here

Marahill holds a sixty-six-metre earthen ring where human hands first shaped the land. Farm buildings now crowd its eastern edge and western banks have vanished, yet the shallow fosse still traces a boundary older than modern ownership. The fairies may have taken the entrance when people stopped seeing it, leaving behind a circle large enough for a village but small enough to hide inside.

Large raised circular area (int. diam. c. 66m) enclosed by a low earthen bank, modified and incorporated into the field boundary, and a wide, shallow fosse. Modern farm buildings have encroached on the site at NNE and ENE. Part of the bank and fosse has been removed at W. 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.
