What is recorded here

That is the Fort in County Cavan: a vanished Jacobite mud stronghold from the 1690 battle, now invisible under modern feet. It may have been a ringfort long before soldiers dug it, and it may still hold the shape of hands that built it. The ground has forgotten the name, but it has not forgotten the weight of the people who stood inside.

Named 'Fort' on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map whre it is represented as a circular enclosure named 'Fort' c. 35m in diamter. It is not marked on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1908). This appears to be the 'mud fort' occupied by elements of the Jacobite garrison mentioned in accounts of the battle of Cavan which took place on 11 February 1690 (old style).
