What is recorded here

Bonet River valley, County Leitrim. A circular grass and rush-covered area, thirty metres across, sits at the NE end of a drumlin ridge, bounded by a three-metre earthen bank and faint external ditch. The entrance has vanished, leaving the enclosure sealed against human memory. It may have been a fairy fort, excluded from mortal traffic, or a forgotten household reduced to grass and rush. Either way, the river valley keeps it hidden in plain sight.

Located at the NE end of a NE-SW drumlin ridge (L c. 100m)on the floor of the NE-SW Bonet River valley. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (int. diam. c. 28-30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) with trees and slight traces of an external fosse. The original entrance is not identified. 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
