What is recorded here

Mullagh holds a massive double-ringed fort where a causeway still crosses the deep inner ditch. Men built that much earth and left a gap at the east, proving the site welcomed entry rather than hiding it. The fairies may have taken the story, but the soil remembers the weight of human hands.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with outer fosses. Intermediate fosse is wide and deep while outer fosse is absent from NNW-N-ENE. Corresponding breaks in banks at ENE, with causeway across intermediate fosse, 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
