What is recorded here

Killarga and Drumhaire still whisper that the fort belongs to fairies, yet human hands shaped the earth long before magic claimed it. A D-shaped platform, twenty-four metres across, rises on a drumlin shelf where rushes grow thick and the scarp casts shadow at dusk. The stream cut through one edge and the field bank swallowed another, but the ring remains: a room without walls, waiting for someone reckless enough to sit inside it and listen.

Located on a shelf towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped platform (dims 24m NW-SE; 23m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m), with a hedge and a slight external fosse N-S. The monument is truncated by a SW-NE stream at NW and by an eroded NW-SE field bank (L 22m) at SW. 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
