What is recorded here

Indicated is a hilltop enclosure in County Cavan, Ireland, where a low earthen bank and shallow fosse once shaped an oval space about 160m by 100m. Farming has levelled part of it and folded the rest into field boundaries, so the fort now exists more in local memory than in visible stone. What remains is a hint of shape on the land, waiting for someone to walk its edges and imagine the lives that moved through it.

Not marked as an antiquity on any OS ed. but known locally as a 'fort'. Oval area (int. dims. c. 160m NE-SW; 100m NW-SE) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse, both of which have been modified and incorporated into the field boundary, the area NE of which has been levelled leaving nothing visible at ground level. The site is divided into two roughly equal portions by a field boundary running NW-SE. 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
