What is recorded here

Thirty-seven metres of raised earth still stands in Corraweelis, a circular chamber big enough for a hall, a herd or a hundred dancing feet. The causeway at the east entrance invites you across, while the missing fosse on the west suggests people wore that side smooth long before roads existed. Fairy fort is the local name, but the shape is human: a boundary drawn in soil, not a mistake of the land.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 36.5m WNW-ESE; 37m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a well-defined fosse. Fosse is absent from W-N-NNE and has been infilled and replaced by a pathway from NNE-E. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at ESE probably represents original entrance. 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
