What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corcrin, County Monaghan. A vanished ring on a ridge, remembered only in gothic ink on an 1834 map. The earth has taken back its shape, leaving behind a name that dares imagination.

Located towards the SE end of a NW-SE ridge or spur. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35) described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 27 July 2017
