Fairy fort / ringfort in Lisnafana

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and memory are tangled here. The fort is absent from human sight but the land still carries the shape of what was hidden. That is why the place feels alive rather than dead.
Tradition of a 'Fort' at this location. Situated on the N slope of a drumlin hill. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
