What is recorded here

Fairy forts in Ballyglass hide beside water and steep ground, inviting people to imagine more than stones. This is a circular grass platform twenty-four metres across, marked by a shallow scarp rather than a proud wall. Two small streams pass nearby, one to the south and one to the northeast, as if the fort sat between living borders. Its entrance has not been identified, and the absent boundary makes the place feel less like a recorded fact and more like a room waiting to be remembered.

Located on a steep E-facing slope with a small W-E stream c. 15m to the S and a NW-SE stream c. 35m to the NE. This is a circular grass-covered platform (diam. 24m) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.15-0.25m). There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. Cashel (LE007-041----) is c. 130m to the NNW. 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
