What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corleckagh Lower is a raised circular area thirty-two point eight metres across, enclosed by a low earthen bank and a partly waterlogged inner ditch. The original entrance has disappeared beneath soil and time. In County Cavan such rings were called raths, and people lived inside them before the name changed. The fort keeps its shape though it no longer shows where its door stood.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 32.8m) enclosed by a low earthen bank with low, partly waterlogged internal fosse. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
