What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cornagillagh (rosclogher By.) stands on a south-facing slope in Glenade valley, twenty-two hundred paces from the Bonet river. Its fifty-metre grass circle still shows a three-metre earthen bank, though no entrance or ditch remains visible. The site resists mapping and modern memory, preserving only a faint circular shadow above the valley floor.

Situated on a S-facing slope on the floor of the Glenade valley with a NW-SE section of the River Bonet c. 220m to the SW. It is not marked on any map but is visible as a circular feature on vertical aerial photographs (OSAP: 5/6929-8). This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 50m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.3m) W-NNE, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.25m) S-W. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter is cut by a NNE-SSW field bank at E (L c. 40m). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
