What is recorded here
Death and change have erased the fort at Behernagh. It vanished completely from the landscape, leaving no visible trace on the drumlin ridge where it once stood. Forgetting has done what time cannot do there.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the SE shoulder of a drumlin ridge. Not 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.
