What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost Cavan ringfort, erased from the land and saved only in a written line. It stood on a drumlin hilltop, an oval bench of earth seventy-two metres long, perhaps surrounding a household or a chamber for the fairies. Men levelled the ridge to make the field smooth, believing they understood the shape of the place. The field gave back its breadth, but the ridge and its story disappeared.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated on a drumlin hilltop. Davies (ITA Survey 1941) described an oval area (dims. 72m N-S; 24.4m. E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank and speculated that it may have been a house enclosure. Site has 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
