What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide inside ordinary ground, waiting for memory rather than medals. Cornagarvoge holds one ring beneath pasture, no larger than a breath drawn twice. The land remembers shape even when people stop seeing it.

Situated on a small E-W spur on the W side of a NW-SE ridge and c. 50m W of Callenberg House. An embanked circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. In dry weather conditions a parch-mark with a break at the W was known at this point before the top of the spur was levelled into a hollow to the W. No archaeological feature is visible now at ground level in pasture. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 27 July 2017
