What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumbibe, County Leitrim: a grass-covered ringfort on a drumlin ridge, with a shallow outside ditch and an east entrance. People may have lived there, herded there, or kept rituals there before the name changed. The measurements are small enough to walk around in minutes, yet the shape still holds its own advice: enclose, enter, remember.

Located on top of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular platform (dims 34.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1.1m) with traces of a slight bank around the perimeter at N and SE, and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.2m). The entrance (Wth 3m) and causeway are 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
