What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cornalaghta, County Leitrim: a 30-metre grass ring on a south-east slope, with a low stone-covered scarp, a narrow outer ditch and no visible entrance. People may have lived there, excluded others, or simply marked the valley edge; the shape still keeps its boundary.

Situated on a SE-facing slope towards the head of a NE-SW valley with the stream c. 90-120m to the NE and SE. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a stone-covered scarp (H 0.8m) with some trees and an external fosse (Wth of top 4.5m; D 0.6m), with traces of an outer bank at N. There is no identifiable original entrance. 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
