A well-preserved early-medieval fairy fort (ringfort/rath) in Corbally, featuring a circular enclosure with an inner bank, fosse, and partial outer bank, and a causewayed southern entrance. Local folklore associates such sites with the supernatural, particularly with fairies, and the presence of an underground passage suggests possible ritual or defensive use.
