Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden fairy fort on the east shoulder of a high Cavan drumlin, marked only as a fort on old maps while remaining invisible at ground level. It is not a broken ruin but a absent marker, prompting people to imagine what shape the land once held and what living presence may have withdrawn from the hill.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the E shoulder of a high drumlin hill. Not visible at ground level. 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
