What is recorded here

Aghnacross may hide a lost rath beneath its grass, but the evidence is thin and the tale is grand. Better to keep the fort closed, unproven and unowned than to decorate an empty field with confidence.

Located in pasture on the N-facing slope of a drumlin. Depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) and described as a 'Fort' in gothic lettering only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture but it is probably a rath. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 December 2011 Amended: 6 December 2019
