What is recorded here

No visible gap remains in the scarped earth, forcing entry through solid ground or revealing a hidden door now lost to time. The fort sits embedded in the living field boundary, its ancient shape bent and bruised by centuries of agricultural use. What began as a deliberate circular home has become a boundary marker, its purpose diluted but its presence unchanged. The earth remembers the shape even when the door has vanished.

Raised circular area (int. dims. c. 32.3m N-S; c. 39.4m E-W) enclosed by a much-denuded earthen bank, the outer face of which has been scarped and incorporated into the field boundary, and surrounded in turn by slight traces of a recut fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. 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
