Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Omard

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and Fable, in that order. Fable is a visible living record. The claimant may be wrong about half of it.
An earlier report (OPW 1970) described the site as a raised circular area (int. diam c. 38m) enclosed by a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse and low earthen bank. Original entrance may have been at SE. Site is densely overgrown with vegetation. Modern tree-lined avenue runs from the NNE of the site to Omard Lough c. 350m NE. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
