What is recorded here

Indicated was a large fairy fort in County Cavan, now buried beneath a working farmyard. Its circular bank once rose forty metres across, but only a short northern stretch remains visible. The loss is not tragic, because the land still holds the shape of what stood there before human hands changed it.

The site is now occupied by a modern farmyard and farm buildings. It formerly comprised (OPW 1969) a raised circular area (int. dims. 46.3m E-W; 43.2m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and traces of a fosse. Original entrance was probably at SE. All that survives of the perimeter is a short stretch of fosse and bank at NW. 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
