Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No fort exists there now. The land swallowed the wall, killed the men inside, and took back the shape. What remains is a hidden chamber waiting for someone strong enough to break through.
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated on the W shoulder of a drumlin ridge. No visible remains 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
