What is recorded here

Mortons and Cavan farms have long surrounded the Corglass ringfort, yet its low earthen bank and faded fosse still mark a circular chamber forty-one metres wide. Modern field boundaries press against its outer foot, as if the land forgot the fort but never erased it. Its possible south-east entrance faces the open distance, inviting entry into a place where human memory thins and fairy story begins.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 41.2m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and the remains of a fosse. Modern field boundaries occur at the outer foot of the bank from NW-N and from SSE-SSW. Original entrance may have been at SSE. 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
