What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings built by human hands, yet local stories insist they belong to unseen residents. Tullynaskeagh preserves a wide circular scarps and bank, large enough for several houses or a crowded gathering. Its entrance has vanished, denying easy judgement about who entered or whether the fairy claim is literally true.

Large raised circular area (int. diam. 52m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a shallow, irregular fosse, both of which are identifiable only from SW-W-N. Elsewhere the defining feature is a low scarp. 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
