What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Corrinagh, County Longford: a 42 m circular rath on a drumlin, with a 7 m earth-and-stone bank, a 6 m wide and 1.3 m deep fosse, and a thinner outer bank that fades from the northwest to northeast. The eastern gap in the inner bank may be the entrance, leaving the rest of the circle closed against weather, cattle or whatever the locals once kept at bay.
On top of a drumlin in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 42m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 7m; H 1.3-1.5m) with a wide, deep intervening fosse (Wth 6m; D 1.3m) and an outer bank (Wth 5.5m; H 0.7m). The outer bank is not evident from NW-N-NE. A break (Wth 6m) in the inner bank at E may mark the original entrance.
