What is recorded here

Ronard’s fairy fort is a 24.8-metre earthen ring where human hands shaped soil into a small defensible world. Fields and vegetation have swallowed its entrance, yet the bank still traces the choice of people who lived, resisted or departed there.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.8m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and possible remains of a fosse. The bank has been incorporated into the field boundary from WNW-NNW, and from NNE-N-E it survives only as a low scarp. Original entrance not recognisable. Very overgrown with vegetation. 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
