What is recorded here

Half-hidden beside the Bonet River in Boggaun, a grass-covered D-shaped ring stands twenty-six metres wide, its shallow scarp and rushy border marking a fort the water and fields have half-erased. People may have lived there, feared the fairies, or simply avoided the damp ground where a hidden doorway still seems likely.

Visible as a D-shaped feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 4/1088-9), and situated in a low-lying position beside a NE-SW section of the Bonet River with the stream immediately to the NW. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims c. 26m NE-SW; c. 24m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m) and an external band of rushes (Wth 3-5m) SE-W. It is truncated by the river at NW and by a NW-SE field bank at NE. An entrance is not identified. 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
