Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Seeharan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

You need a strong clear anchor and a visible change. Use the facts already given. Keep the story local and practical.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse identifiable from S-W-E. An apparently modern, low counterscarp bank encircles the fosse. Break in bank at ESE probably represents original entrance. Projecting from the inner face of the bank at NW is a rectangular area (int. dims. 7m N-S; 3.5m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank which presumably represents a hut site. Break in bank at E represents original entrance to the structure. 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
