Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corglancey

Situated on top of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 28nm NW-SE; 25m NE-SW; int. dims 26.6m NW-SE; 23.2m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 2.5m at SW to 4.5m at NW; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m) with some bushes, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.9m) E-SE. There is no visible fosse, but entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at ENE and the monument is circumscribed by a field bank SE-WSW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
