What is recorded here

Drumroosk and Thomascourt both carry the same circular memory: a raised earthen ring large enough for dozens of people, tools and arguments. The entrance has vanished, but the well remains outside the bank, waiting for hands that never learned to leave. Maybe the fort was human, maybe it was never built at all, or maybe it is the kind of place where both truths stop competing.

Raised almost circular area (int. dims 49m NNW-SSE; 53m ENE-WSW) enclosed by an earthen bank and slight traces of a fosse running from ESE-SSE. Original entrance not recognisable. A well is situated outside the bank at NNW. 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
