What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corimla South: an earthen ring, 29.5m by 22m, rising through damp pasture between the Brusna and Glenree rivers. Its bank is broad enough to walk, tall enough to hide a crouching child, and broken in places as though people still enter without asking. At the north-west end the ground dips into a shallow channel with a raised lip, perhaps marking a passage beneath the hill. Above that hidden way, the fort holds its shape in grass, hawthorn and rain, waiting for the boundary between worlds to thin.

Located on an elevation, in an expanse of gently undulating, damp pasture, bordered 200m NW by the Brusna River, and 370m to SE by the Glenree River. There is an E−W road immediately to S. Raised ovoid area (29.5m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW), narrowest at NW end, defined by earthen bank (Wth 4m–4.6m; int. H 0.2m at SW, 0.65 m at NE; ext. H 1.45m at NE, 1.7m at SW). A field fence, oriented NE-SW, cuts across the bank at NW. The interior slopes down gently from NW to SE. In the highest part at NW, there is a shallow linear depression (L 4m; Wth 1.4m) with a low, raised lip on the W side, which may mark the location of a possible Man-made underground passage (MA040001-). There is a sub-circular area (6m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE) defined by a slight, gapped rise/bank located against the inner face of the bank to SSW; it is barely discernible and of uncertain significance. There are several eroded gaps in the bank, the largest (Wth 1.5m) to SE may be the original entrance, or the entrance may have been at E, where there is a low section of bank (L 6m), towards which there is a marked slope in the interior. Interior is grass-covered; perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and gorse. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 June 2018
