What is recorded here
Although site has been levelled, the outline of the perimeter is still identifiable enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 43m). From NW-NNW the perimeter has been extensively modified and incorporated into field boundary.
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.

Drummora Great is a partially modified early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 6th and 10th centuries, with a circular enclosure of approximately 43 metres in diameter. While folklore specific to this site is not recorded, like many such forts in Ireland, it may have been associated with local legends of fairies or ancient dwellings of early Irish settlers.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
