What is recorded here

Fate and human life became entangled there long before records began. The fort is small enough to walk inside a minute, yet it still stands out on the land as a made shape rather than a random one. People may have lived, hidden, worshipped or simply marked a boundary there. What is certain is that the circle was built, seen on old maps, and has survived the loss of its entrance and much of its wall.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836. and 1876 eds. Small raised circular area (int. diam c. 17m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved low drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
