What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Yewer Glebe was a large tree-covered circular enclosure in County Cavan, Ireland. It has vanished so completely that only a kink in the field boundary from S-SSW-SW still hints at its shape. What looked like a fort to surveyors may have been a boundary marker, a burial place, or a warning not to build there.

Marked on the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. as a large tree-covered circular enclosure. All that remains to indicate the existence of the site is a kink in the field boundary from S-SSW-SW. 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
