What is recorded here

Fairy fort is a circular rath in Corbeagh with a thick earthen bank, a hidden entrance, and the ghost of a rectangular house inside. It is the kind of place where people may have lived, feared, or forgotten before the stones were even called fairy works.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.3m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and faint traces of a fosse. Exterior of bank has been faced with stone from WSW-NW. Original entrance not recognisable. Within the internal area at SE are the remains of an undivided rectangular house represented by a slight grass-covered bank of earth and stone (int. dims. 8m NE-SW; 4.2m NW-SE). 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
