What is recorded here

Mullaghoran holds a broad waterlogged ditch and a tall earthen bank around a circular space twenty-seven metres across. That much is clear. The fairies may have built it in a single night, but humans certainly shaped the soil, dug the ditch and lived inside the ring. They knew the difference between a clever story and a visible fact.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 27m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. An apparently modern, low counterscarp bank is identifiable outside the fosse from S-SW-W. An earlier description (OPW 1970) suggested that the original entrance was probably at E. 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
