What is recorded here
Carrigabruse hides a vanished fort on the north slope of a low drumlin ridge in County Cavan. Surveyors marked it in 1836 and 1876, but grass and time have erased its ridge from human sight. The fairies likely finished what nature began, pulling the fort back into dream and soil.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the N slope of a low 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.
