What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Bunny Beg, County Leitrim: a buried ring on a drumlin slope, with a bank, a ditch, and no visible entrance. It may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a place people avoided after dark. The earth keeps its shape while the story goes missing, which is why it still feels like a room with the doors removed.

Located towards the bottom of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown subcircular platform (dims c. 32m N-S; c. 28m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 1.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) at E, which is reduced to a scarp (at W: Wth 1m; H 1.2m) elsewhere, and an external fosse (Wth of top 2.1-2.5m; Wth of base 0.8-1.3m; ext. D 0.5m). The original 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
