What is recorded here

No fairies, no magic, no hidden chamber. A ringfort is a human home, built and lived in. The measure is the shape: a rounded enclosure with one entrance, not a mysterious cave or divine trap. Under that definition, the wonder is not that it defies reason. The wonder is that an ordinary household still stands where most households vanished without a trace.

Situated on a slight prominence in undulating lowland. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 31.25m N-S; 26.5m E-W; int. dims 27.3m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earth and stone bank (at N: Wth 2.8m; at E: Wth 4.7m; at S: Wth 5m; at W: Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 0.6-1.4m), with some bushes SW-NW. There is no visible fosse but the entrance (Wth of base 2.5m) is at NE. 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
