What is recorded here

Mullanacre Lower holds a thirty-metre earthen ring where a broken eastern bank still points to its entrance. The fort has watched Cavan fields for centuries, keeping its shape inside ordinary farmland. People may have lived, hidden or remembered there before written records. The land still carries that much larger human presence.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 29.2m E-W; 27.5m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a largely infilled fosse abutted by a modern field boundary from E-S-NW. Break in bank at E probably 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
