What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It is a raised circular area with a low earthen bank. The bank is visible only from some directions. A modern field boundary touches part of the ring. The shape still stands out in the flat countryside.

Depicted as a tree-ring on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. 36.4m) enclosed by a low earthen bank identifiable only from SSE-S and from W-NW-N. A modern field boundary has been built against the scarp from N-E-S. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance may have been at NW. 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
