What is recorded here

Half the fort is gone, eaten by plough or time, leaving a D-shaped hollow on the slope where a band of rushes still marks the missing moat. What remains is small enough to walk across in a minute, yet the scarped edge and thin earthen bank hold the shape of a place someone bothered to build. The lost eastern half may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a trick the land played on surveyors; the rushes suggest the ground is still completing what the people stopped.

Located towards the top of a NE-facing slope. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 25.5m N-S; c. 15m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m) surmounted by an intermittently visible earthen bank (at W: Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.1m) and an outer fosse represented by a band of rushes (at W: Wth 2.8m) S-W-N, but the E part of the monument has been removed. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
