Cliff-edge fort in Corbrack, County Westmeath

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

This monument is now located on the N side of the Tang River in the modern County of Longford because the course of the Tang River was straightened in recent times. Depicted as a semi-circular-shaped enclosure standing on the S bank of the Tang River which formed the enclosing element on the NE side of the monument. No surface remains visible. Slight traces of the semi-circular shaped earthwork appears to be visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph where it is visible as a line of trees on the S side of the monument. The old course of the Tang River is clearly visible on the Digital Globe aerial photograph.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WM016-005
