What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland, where a modern roadway cut through its ancient earthen ring. The remaining bank and ditch mark a circular space large enough for ordinary human life, yet the true entrance has vanished beneath soil and traffic. What is left feels less like a ruined building and more like a forgotten room in the earth, waiting to be remembered.

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 31.5m) enclosed by an earthern bank and a fosse identifiable only from S-WSW. Perimeter has been removed from NE-SSE and replaced by a modern roadway. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
