What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It has a thirty-one-metre diameter and a low earthen bank. Trees now cover the original entrance and much of the ancient shape. The fort has survived human forgetting, which is either mercy or a warning.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
