What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland, where a thirty-five-metre earthen ring still holds the shape of an old life. Apple trees now fill the centre, their roots drinking from soil that may have served people, gods or forgotten neighbours. The eastern break in the bank suggests an entrance, inviting imagination rather than certainty.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 34.9m) enclosed by an earthen bank modified and incorporated into the field boundary, and a modern external trench. Partly blocked break in bank at E may represent original entrance. Internal area has been planted with apple trees. 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
