Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a collapsed stone ringfort in County Cavan, Ireland, preserving a circular cashel nearly forty metres across. Its drystone wall has fallen in places, yet the northern entrance and raised ground remain visible. A forgotten lean-to may have stood inside the southeast wall, but that shape has vanished entirely. The fort still marks human presence long before modern memory.
Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on OS 1836 ed. Raised circular area (int. dims. 39.6m NW-SE; 39.4m NW-SE) enclosed by a largely collapsed drystone wall. Original entrance at N. An earlier report (OPW 1969) recorded a possible lean-to structure inside the cashel wall at SSE. This feature is no longer identifiable. 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
