What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It contains a raised circular area forty-one metres across, enclosed by an earthen bank and a shallow fosse. A modern laneway cuts through the middle, dividing the ancient space into two. The eastern break in the bank may mark the original entrance, preserving a doorway into a world that no longer needs human witness.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 41.1m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary, and a wide, shallow fosse, which while infilled throughout most of its course, is nonetheless traceable. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at E may represent original entrance. Modern laneway running NNE-SSW divides the internal area into two roughly equal portions. 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
