What is recorded here

A circular stone wall enclosed a space nearly forty metres across in Glasdrumman, large enough for a family farm or a small fortress. Half the ring has vanished beneath a field boundary, but the northern arc still stands substantial while the western curve has flattened into a low rise. The loss suggests human hands broke the ancient wall to make room for ordinary agriculture, erasing the fort one stone at a time.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. and 'Site of' on 1876 ed. The site apparently comprised a roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 39m) enclosed by a drystone wall. The site is divided into two apparently roughly equal portions by a field boundary running ENE-WSW, S of which there are no visible remains. From NNE-ENE the wall is quite substantial. From W-NW-NNE its outline may be identified as a low rise. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
