What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corderry (peyton) is a grass-covered earthen ringfort on the E-facing slope of a small drumlin in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its slight bank and faint outer ditch still mark a subcircular space about twenty metres across, preserved unplanted among trees while another rath waits one hundred and fifty metres to the west. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply passed it by; the earth keeps the shape either way.

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a small drumlin. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 23m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a slight bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.25m) and an intermittently visible external fosse (Wth 2m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted in a forest (Bing 2013). Rath (LE028-044----) is c. 150m to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
