What is recorded here

Creeve and Corgarve hold a large earthen ringfort where a deep fosse still shadows the substantial bank. The eastern causeway marks the entrance, inviting people into a circular space wide enough for ordinary life. Locals call it a fairy fort, suggesting the land still belongs to unseen neighbours. Human hands built the ridge, but imagination has since moved in to keep it company.

Raised circular area (int. dims. 43.5m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. 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
