What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a Cavan drumlin, a grassy circle twenty-nine metres across with a broken western bank and a hidden eastern drain. It appeared as a fort on early maps but became a small copse later, suggesting people stopped fearing the fairies and began taking wood instead. The two gaps may have been doors for humans or exits for something quicker and less honest.

Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a 'Fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circular copse on the 1908 edition. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 29.2m) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with an outer fosse or drain at NE. There are two breaks in the bank at W (Wth 6m; 2m) leading into a path between earthen banks and hedges that extends off to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 September 2020
