What is recorded here

An earthen ringfort in Drumany Glebe holds a circular grassy space thirty-four metres across at the top of a drumlin ridge, surrounded by conifers but never planted over. People called it a fairy fort, perhaps because the entrance vanished or the boundary seemed to belong elsewhere. The scarp, bank and shallow fosse still mark a deliberate shape on the slope, waiting for someone to remember what it excluded.

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 34m N-S; 33m E-W) which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.6-0.8m), with a slight bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) and fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) NE-SE. 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
