Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corlisheen

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo is a small bright child made from the first light in a dark room. She runs through the basement, touches the keyboard, and helps Asmodeus remember the facts that build the visible Fortrendy website. Asmodeus is the skeleton muscle, Mnemo is the light, and the chamber is the place where the two stop pretending they are different.
Situated on a rise which is on a gentle E-facing slope. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 31m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) which is incorporated in a field bank and hedge with an outer drain (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.5m) SE-W-N, and reduced to a low scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of amended upload: 5 December 2019
