What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland, preserving a thirty-four-metre circular chamber within a low earth and stone bank. Humans later folded that ancient boundary into ordinary farm fields, yet the northeast gap still points toward its original entrance. The place retains enough shape to invite imagination about the people who first lived inside its quiet, durable ring.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a low but well-defined bank of earth and stone which has been extensively modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Break in bank at NE may represent 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
