What is recorded here

No. That is a new exact claim. The facts above do not say when the fort was built, when it stopped being used, or what it was for. They describe a grass-covered ringfort on a low hillock in Derryduff, with a stony scarp, entrance ramp, field-wall cuts and an estimated original diameter of about 40m. Any story must stay inside that: a made place, partly broken open by later walls, still readable as a circle of grass and stone.

On top of a low hillock. Grass covered D-shaped area (dims 20m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by a stony scarp (H 1-1.2m) SW-NW with traces of a stone wall-footing at SW. There is an entrance ramp (Wth 2.4m) at WNW. The monument is truncated by a NW-SE field wall at NE and a NE-SW field wall at SW, but the original diameter was c. 40m. A collapsed stone field wall (LE001- 040002-) extends NW (L 20m; Wth 2.4m; H 0.4m) from the perimeter at SW. 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
