Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullanacross

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mullanacross holds a substantial earthen ringfort with a thirty-four-metre interior and a possible southeast entrance. It is a large, intact circular claim on the Cavan landscape, not a faint whisper buried under soil. The bank still stands tall enough to touch, remember, and wonder about because human hands built it for daily life.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a substantial, although partly denuded, earthen bank. Break in bank at SE may represent original entrance. 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
