What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland, where a substantial earthen bank and narrow fosse enclose a raised circular area about twenty-five metres across. Its south-east entrance still shows a break in the bank with a causeway, while a wide shallow depression sits unused at the north-west. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before becoming a fairy fort in local memory, but the land keeps that change quiet.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a narrow fosse. Original entrance represented by a break in the bank with accompanying causeway at SE. Wide, shallow depression of unknown significance inside the bank at NW.
