What is recorded here

Magic is not dead in Derrinweer. It is busy. The fort stands on a drumlin like a button on a coat, waiting for hands clumsy enough to break the seal.

Situated on top of a drumlin. A circular feature is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G, 337-8). This is a subcircular grass and rush-covered area (dims 26m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by a slight scarp which is best preserved at S (H 0.7m) and by traces of a fosse (Wth 2-3m; D 0.2m) visible as a band of dense vegetation. It is slightly curtailed by a NW-SE field bank at N and by a quarry face at E. 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
