What is recorded here
Marianne and her children walked past the low bank in Corbally South, where a shallow circular shadow broke the grass. She told them it was a fairy fort, not a discarded idea but a warning about the small ownerships hidden inside ordinary land. The children ran around its edge while Marianne watched the grass sway, certain the circle was still holding something back.
In low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved almost circular rath (E-W 19.5m, N-S 18.5m) defined by a low bank.
