What is recorded here

Mounds of green and gold still mark the fairy forts across Cavan, though human hands built them ages ago. That is the shape of the old world: people lived, left holes in the earth, and the holes became mythology.

An earlier report (OPW 1970) described a large raised circular area (int. diam. c. 52m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. Original entrance was probably at NE. All that remains to indicate the presence of the site is an irregular mound of earth and stone. Otherwise nothing visible at ground level. 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
