What is recorded here

Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Situated at the base of a valley adjacent to a stream. An earlier report (OPW 1977) described a slightly raised, small circular area (int. diam. c. 19m) enclosed by a narrow earthen bank and very slight traces of a fosse. Site has been levelled largely-as a result of the construction of a field boundary running N-S. Nonetheless its outline may still be traced.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV005-026

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corratober UpperFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 339 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Corratober Upper is mostly gone, so the Vikings probably got lost looking for it anyway. It’s half-destroyed and replaced by a stone wall that looks confused. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CorlisbannanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 538 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corlisbannan has a New Year's resolution: stop getting infilled. It’s got a possible underground passage, which is basically a rumour with dirt on it. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Corrahoash is standing on its high ground acting all superior. Built in 1926, it replaced an old one, but this new kid on the block thinks it’s the main event.

Corleckagh UpperMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Corleckagh Upper is a peak in County Cavan, and I bet its top has the best view of the whole map record collection.

DrumhurrinMountain / peak · 1.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Drumhurrin sits in County Cavan, a peak where I bet the wind loves to whisper its own cheeky little secrets.

Corrard HouseHouse · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Corrard House in Corrard was designed by James Donnelly. He probably got paid in compliments and a sandwich. Ten minutes of staring will make you feel rich and confused.

TobermurrySpring · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom As a holy well, Tobermurry might just wish you luck if you bow politely, so let's go see if the water is actually magical.

Cavan WayWalking route · 1.8 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cavan Way has caught my eye in County Leitrim. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Children's playground2.0 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Maybe this Children's playground in County Cavan is where the local rabbits come to practice their jumps.

The PlaygroundCliff · 2.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom The Playground cliff sounds like a toddler’s tantrum turned into geology! It’s just a big rocky edge in Cavan waiting for someone to slide down it. Don’t trip over your own feet while admiring the view, yeah?

CarrignahastaCliff · 2.6 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Carrignahasta has caught my eye in County Leitrim. I bet a cliff with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Shannon PotSpring · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Shannon Pot is a spring in County Cavan, where the water reflections shine so brightly that even a polarizer filter cannot hide them.
