Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corrinshigo, County Cavan: a raised circular area, about 24.7m inside, enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow, partly waterlogged fosse. A disturbed break at the northeast probably marks the original entrance. Now densely overgrown, it stands as a ringfort, a rath, where human hands shaped the earth before vegetation reclaimed the edge.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 24.7m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow, partly waterlogged fosse. Disturbed break in bank at NE probably represents original entrance. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
