What is recorded here
An invisible fort stands on the wet northwest shoulder of a Cavan hillside, hiding from human eyes despite appearing on old survey maps. It defies ordinary sense, resisting visibility in precipitous terrain where clarity usually fails. Maybe the boundary between worlds thins there, allowing shapes to exist without occupying space. What humans cannot see may still hold, remember or transform.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the NW shoulder of a hillside in wet, precipitous mountainous terrain. 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.
