What is recorded here

The earthen fort in Corraveaty stands thirty-eight metres across, holding two banks and a central ditch despite modern tracks cutting through its western edge. Its southern entrance remains the likely gateway into a space where human hands shaped the land long before written memory. The district changed around it, yet the circle resisted erasure.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 38.2m N-S; 37.3m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks, the outer one of which is well defined, and an intermediate fosse. Modern trackway accompanied by natural earthen bank replaces outer bank of rath from SSW-WNE. At SE, outer bank and fosse greatly disturbed by modern field boundaries, banks and drains. Original entrance probably at S. 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
