What is recorded here

Thirty-four metres across and hidden under rushes, the forgotten fort still holds its shape on the highest spur of Corratober. People called it a fairy fort because the entrance vanished, but more likely they simply stopped seeing the gate and began believing the inside belonged elsewhere. The bank rises sixteen decimetres outside and drops seventy into a ditch that breaks away SE-SW, proving the circle was never complete or never finished. Whatever lived there left no name, only a rounded shadow on the land and a border the eye still cannot finish tracing.

Located towards the NNW end of a SSE-NNW spur and just SE of its highest point. This is a raised subcircular, grass and rush-covered area (dims 34m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m) and hedge with an outer fosse (Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 0.7m) that cannot be traced SE-SW. 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
