What is recorded here

You can still picture the circle because the land remembers it. A shallow scar curves from southeast through south to west, enclosing twenty-three metres of forgotten life beside a quiet stream. People may have built, loved, argued and died inside that ring before ploughs and forgetting smoothed the edge. The fairy fort is not gone, it has become a rumour the soil tells when rain makes the grass darken.

Almost completely levelled. Situated on a slight natural rise close to a stream. All that survives are faint traces of a low scarp identifiable from SE-S-W enclosing a roughly circular area (diam. c. 23m). Otherwise nothing 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
