Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Killymeehan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Forty feet of forgotten wall still circle Killymeehan, though time and plough have worn the stones to a shallow rim. The fort appeared on maps before modern memory, yet its entrance has vanished entirely. People may have lived inside, feared the dark or simply marked the boundary of their field. The fairies keep the rest.

Marked 'Fort' on the OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.5m) enclosed by a drystone wall which has been largely levelled. Even where best preserved at S, it barely rises above the enclosed area. 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
