What is recorded here

Half-hidden under grass on the Bonet River slope, the fort keeps its circle intact: a shallow ditch, a ridged bank, and a flat middle wide enough for rooftops, herds, and argument. People may have lived there before memory, then left the shape behind like a sentence unfinished. The fairies never departed in the local telling; they simply stopped answering to human names.

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a drumlin on the floor of the NE-SW Bonet River valley. Grass-covered circular area (diam. 48m E-W; 46m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.35m) NW-N which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.1-2m) with some trees elsewhere. A shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m) is intermittently visible, but 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
