What is recorded here

No one knows when the ring closed or who first walked its hidden entrance. People called it a fairy fort because the boundary vanished into grass and shadow, but that name may have protected the truth: a ordinary human home, forgotten so completely it became a legend. The bank still stands on the drumlin slope, waiting for someone to stop treating it like a story and start asking what it was before the forgetting began.

Located on the S-facing slope of a small drumlin. Rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims. 29.8m E-W; 25.4m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.45m) which is reduced to a scarp S-SW, and an external fosse (at N: Wth 1.3m; D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted at the W edge of a forest (Bing 2013). 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
