What is recorded here
Cordoagh Glebe Upper holds a twenty-eight-metre earthen ring where human hands first shaped the land. Farming later cut through its southern edge, yet the deep fosse and raised bank still mark the boundary between ordinary ground and forgotten life. The fairies may have taken the entrance, but the circle remains intact enough to invite wonder.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. The perimeter has been levelled from NNE-S-WSW. Elsewhere it has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable.
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.
