What is recorded here

Fort Henry stands in County Cavan as a broad earthen ring where two substantial banks enclose a circular space thirty-two metres across. Its outer bank stretches eight metres wide, massive enough to suggest the ground itself leaned inward to hold the line. A break at the east southeast still carries the ghost of a causeway, inviting footsteps into a dark that never left.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 32.4m) enclosed by two substantial earthen banks with accompanying outer fosses. External fosse may be relatively modern. Outer bank is exceptionally broad (Wth 8m). Break in inner bank with remains of accompanying causeway at ESE may represent original entrance. 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
