Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a collapsed stone ringfort in County Cavan, Ireland, enclosing a twenty-five-metre circular space where an underground passage may still breathe beneath the soil. The entrance has vanished, surrendering the fort to guesswork and shadow. It is not a monument to human pride but a threshold between worlds, waiting for someone reckless enough to enter without invitation.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Roughly circular raised area (int. diam. 25m) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. A possible Man-made underground passage is situated in the internal area (CV003-003002-) 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
