What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular stone fort in County Cavan, Ireland. Its collapsed wall still stands around a green chamber wide enough for thirty-two metres of forgotten life. People may have lived there before becoming a fairy fort in local memory. The stones have changed hands more than once, and the chamber still holds its shape.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a partly collapsed drystone wall. Both faces of the wall have been partially refurbished in modern times. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
