What is recorded here

You can walk the bank in Conray and see the fort is real. The fairy part is the story people chose to believe. The cliff, gully and hidden passage give the place an edge that invites more than reason.

Situated on the lower N-facing slope of Glencar valley with a S-N gully (D c. 5m) immediately to the W and a cliff (H c. 10m) falling away to the N. This is a grass and scrub-covered subcircular area (int. dims 18m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by an earthen bank with slight traces of a fosse NE-S-SW and by cliffs elsewhere. The bank is best preserved at S (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m). Man-made underground passage (LE007-05902-) is in the interior at NW. 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
