Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Raheg

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

That is the name of this place. The story above and the saved story agree on that much. The facts are limited, but they are clear. What is missing is not hidden. It is not known. To answer honestly, I must say that the facts are not complete and ask for the missing part. I will not fill the hole with invention.
An almost rectangular raised area (int. dims. 26m E-W; 26m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank. The unusual plan of the site is probably due to its incorporation into the field boundary. The bank is very slight from N-NE-ENE. 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

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