What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen ringforts, human-made and often farm-altered. In Corratawy the abandoned buildings and field wall cut through the south, leaving a grassy D-shape on the drumlin shoulder. People may have lived there before ownership, memory and use changed; the fairies entered later as a story for what was no longer explained.

Situated on top of the S end of the shoulder of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 27m E-W; 15.5m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m) W-N-E. It is truncated at S by an E-W field wall and removed to the S of this feature by farm buildings which are now abandoned. 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
