What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corragarry: A substantial oval earthwork in County Cavan, Ireland, with a raised interior, deep surrounding ditch and a causeway entrance at the south-east. People may have lived, herded animals or marked territory there before written records, while local tradition still calls it a fairy fort. The field boundary now crosses the old causeway, reminding visitors that human and mythical maps both still shape the same soil.

Raised oval area (int. dims. 44.3m E-W; 32.2m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow fosse. Modern field boundary encircles the site. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance. Outer extent of causeway crossed by the field boundary noted above. 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
