What is recorded here

Indicated is a forgotten Cavan ringfort where a rectangular stone chamber still lies buried beneath grass and shadow. The fairies may have built the round wall, but the sharp-cornered chamber suggests human hands intruded into their domain. Whatever lived inside that small dividing wall, the land took it back.

Indicated on all OS eds. Known as a 'fort' (local information). Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a largely grass-covered, much-denuded low drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. On OS 1836 ed. a rectangular building is shown adjoining the site at NE. Within the enclosed area at NE are the foundations of a rectangular stone building (int. dims. 8.3m x 3.7m) with an internal dividing wall. Site is densely overgrown with vegetation. The OS 1836 ed. depicts a rectangular building adjoining the site at NE which has since been levelled. 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
