What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. The site is a slightly raised circular area fifty-five metres across, enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone from the northeast through the south to the west, with modern stone walls elsewhere. The original entrance is no longer recognisable. The place is marked Fort on the 1836 and 1876 Ordnance Survey maps, yet it may be only a landscape feature.
