What is recorded here

That is a ringfort on a drumlin above the valleys near Manorhamilton, preserving a small circular chamber of grass, reeds and earth. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a place where people gathered to watch the land. The forgotten entrance still hides inside the hedge, waiting for someone to remember the shape of the door.

Situated on top of a prominent drumlin that is almost centrally placed amongst the valleys that meet at Manorhamilton c. 1.3km to the SSE. This is a circular grass and reed-covered area (int. diam. 28m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.75m) surmounted by a field bank with a hedge, and an outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2-0.4m). 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
