What is recorded here

Aughriman South holds a broken oval beside a meandering stream, its earthen bank reduced to twenty centimetres in places while lush vegetation marks the forgotten ditch. The water has gnawed the southwest perimeter for centuries, erasing the entrance and reminding every visitor that memory itself is vulnerable to time. People may have lived inside this shallow ring before the land swallowed it, but the fort no longer speaks with confidence. It only suggests, through grass and erosion, that human presence once resisted the tide of forgetting.

Located in a low-lying position beside a small, meandering N-S stream. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 48m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by interrupted sections of a grass-covered earthen bank (at SSE: Wth 2m; H 0.2m) and an external fosse represented by a band of lush vegetation (at SSE: Wth 2.5m). The original entrance is not identified, and the perimeter is eroded by the stream 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.
