What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Termon, County Cavan. A raised circular area, about twenty-nine metres across, still stands inside a low earthen bank. The ditch has mostly vanished under modern field drains, and the entrance has gone quiet. People may have lived there, excluded others, or simply marked the edge of a neighbourhood long before written memory.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 29m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and very slight traces of a fosse identifiable only from NW-E-SE and replaced by modern field drains. 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
