What is recorded here

Mystery and wonderment surround the lost ringfort at Murmod. It defies easy explanation and resists ordinary measurement. What is forgotten there may still be alive.

An earlier report (OPW 1969) described the site as a large raised oval area enclosed by a low earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse. Original entrance was not recognisable. Site has been levelled. 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
