What is recorded here

Thirty-seven metres of forgotten room on a sunny Glenade slope, its earthen wall still standing a metre high where the field never cut through. People may have lived there before they stopped, or the fairies may have taken the house and left the shape behind. The missing entrance keeps both claims alive.

Situated on top of a rise on a S-facing slope of Glenade valley. It is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 5/6933-2). This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 37m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by an earthen bank, which is best preserved NW-N (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.35m) but reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at SE. The original entrance is not identified. A NE-SW field bank overlies the monument towards the perimeter at N. 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
