What is recorded here

Mullybrack holds a broad oval rath where a substantial earthen bank still rises above the Cavan field. The entrance has vanished under soil and scarped edges, but the intact circle suggests people once shaped the land into a visible boundary. Local names call it a fairy fort, which may mean only that the true human purpose faded while the shape remained strange.

Raised oval area (int. dims. 55m NW-SE; 35.5m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank incorporated into the field boundary at SE and elsewhere recently scarped externally. 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
