What is recorded here
Magic fort / earthen ringfort in Corbally (magunihy By., Dromin Ed) is a 37m oval rath with a 3.1m bank, a hut site, three boulders and an overgrown limekiln beside the south arc. It stands in pasture on level ground, truncated by a lane at the northwest and poached by cattle inside. People may have lived there before the kiln, made lime there after the fort, or done both at once while neighbours argued about whose land the lane cut through.
In pasture, on level ground, on the E side of a lane. A raised oval area (37m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 2.1m) N-W. The rath is truncated by a lane at NW. The interior is poached by cattle. There is a hut site (KE057-035001-) in the N half and there are three boulders in the NE quadrant. A limekiln, which is covered in overgrowth, abuts the bank along the S arc, externally.
