What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cormeen, County Cavan: a 33-metre earthen ring on a drumlin slope, now levelled and invisible. It may have housed people, excluded carts, or marked a boundary nobody wrote down. The earth forgot the shape, but the ridge still holds the memory of a circle large enough to walk around and small enough to belong to one valley.

Situated on the NNE slope of a drumlin ridge. It formerly comprised (OPW 1969) a raised circular area (int. dims. 33.4m NNW-SSE; 33m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Original entrance not recognisable. Site has been levelled. Not visible at ground level. 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
