Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Unusually large raised oval area (int. dims. 78m NNW-SSW; 53m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp with a very short segment of denuded earthen bank on its upper edge at NW. From NNW-E-SE scarp is disturbed by the ruins of a late 18th-century dwelling and modern fencing. Wide depression in scarp at SSE probably represents original entrance. 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
