What is recorded here

Tony Fort is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It is a raised circular area about forty-six metres across, enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep, waterlogged ditch. A break in the bank at the south-east probably marks the original entrance. The shape is simple, but the waterlogged ditch and faded causeway suggest a place where human life and local belief still meet.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 46m) enclosed by a low earthen bank, recently faced with stone from W-NW-N, and a wide, deep, waterlogged fosse, infilled at NE and poorly preserved from E-S-W. Break in bank at SE with slight remains of accompanying causeway probably represents 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
