What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It measures about thirty-six metres across and still stands behind a substantial drystone wall. Plants have smothered the entrance and interior, hiding the shape of the lives that once used the ring.
Indicated on all OS eds. Raised circular area (diam. c. 36m) enclosed by a substantial drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. Densely overgrown with vegetation.
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.
