What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres across, the Corravahan ringfort stands as a low earthen circle where a faint fosse still hints at its boundary. The original entrance has vanished beneath soil and time, leaving the place sealed like a forgotten room. It is easy to imagine people moving through that lost opening, carrying firewood or children into the small protected world inside the bank.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 35m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and very slight remains of a fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Site is encircled by a modern field boundary. 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
