What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corcraff, County Cavan: a raised oval, roughly 39 by 30 metres, ringed by a substantial inner earthen bank, a shallow fosse and a thinner outer bank, its entrance lost beneath vegetation. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before the green took back the doorway; the shape still holds like a breath paused mid-sentence.

Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 39m NNE-SSW; c. 30m WSW-ENE) enclosed by a slight outer bank identifiable from NNW-S-SSW, a substantial inner earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Very overgrown with vegetation. 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
