What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, a raised circular area thirty-two metres across enclosed by a shallow trench and low earthen bank. It never appeared on official maps because human tools failed to distinguish it from ordinary field boundaries. The land kept its own shape, waiting for eyes clever enough to see the difference between a border and a living vessel.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. but known locally as a 'fort'. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 32m NW-SE) enclosed by a narrow, shallow trench and low, narrow earthen bank, both of which are similar in morphology to field boundaries in the vicinity. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
