What is recorded here

Rahardrum is called a fairy fort because a ringfort still lies hidden beneath flat pasture, resisting every attempt to measure or expose it. That is the shape of the claim: not a building, but a boundary the land keeps drawing back.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. Situated in relatively flat pasture-land. 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
