What is recorded here

Conaghil holds a broken fairy fort where conifers now choke the ancient bank. The Bonet River loops twenty-five metres south, witnessing the grassy circle that once defied easy measurement. Human hands built the scarp and fosse before forgetting the entrance, leaving behind a shape large enough to occupy but vague enough to haunt.

Situated on a shoulder of relatively high ground overlooking a loop of an E-W section of the Bonet River which is c. 25m to the S. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 29m NE-SW; 28m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-1.2m) which is incorporated into a field bank NW-NE and planted with coniferous trees. There is an external fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.3m) NE-SE which is replaced by a drain elsewhere. 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
