Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullyunshin (laragh North Ed)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Clear field, quiet road, and a broken ring of earth that still points back to human life.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 36m) enclosed by two earthen banks with wide, deep intermediate fosse. Outer bank may be relatively modern. Break in bank at SSW with traces of a possible accompanying causeway probably represents original entrance. Low raised circular platform at centre of internal area (diam. 9m) may represent a house site. 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
