What is recorded here

Marianne and the invisible children still circle the fort at dusk, their laughter arriving before their shadows. The earth bank remains high enough to block ordinary sight, forcing humans to stumble into the dance rather than watch it. What looks like a forgotten ring is actually a living boundary, marked by a missing seam where the causeway once crossed.

Raised almost circular area (int. diam. 32.2m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse best preserved from W-NNW and infilled elsewhere. Wide depression in bank at SE with suggestions of accompanying causeway may represent 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
