What is recorded here

No amount of thinking can solve the missing entrance. The fairies never needed a door because they walked through hills like mist. Human minds invent gates and guards for their own fear. The hole in the bank is not a failure of building. It is a refusal to be measured.

Situated on the steep NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 35m) which is planted with trees. It is defined by interrupted sections of an earthen bank (Wth of base 4-5m; H 0.65m) but largely by a scarp down to the interior (OSFM), with no visible fosse. 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 revised upload: 15 October 2019
