Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Tuam

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons has never seen a gun, but a stone ringfort still stands where a fairy fort should be. A circular area about twenty-eight metres across is enclosed by a largely collapsed drystone wall. The original entrance has become impossible to identify, leaving the place half-hidden and unchanged.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a largely collapsed 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
