Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cornahoova

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will invent facts about Cornahoova. The claim is not that you are stupid, nor that you are clever. It is that the fact is not in the claim being made.
Situated on a NW-facing slope of a broad SE-NW spur. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 34.2m NW-SE; 33.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at SE: H 0.6m; at SSW: H 1.6m) and hedge NE-E-SW that morphs into a field bank and hedge SW-NW. The interior is bisected by a NE-SW field bank. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 August 2018
