What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corragarry, County Cavan: a 26.2m raised circular area enclosed by a wide, low, much-denuded earthen bank and a shallow, partly waterlogged fosse. Its NE break and causeway mark the original entrance, while a modern field boundary now circles the old rath. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before the land was reordered; the wet ditch and worn bank still keep the shape of that forgotten ordinary life.
