What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide plain sight, wearing grass and rushing water instead of stone walls. This is one such place: a circular hollow at the west end of a drumlin ridge in Drumbrahade, marked by a low earthen bank and a narrow entrance facing east-southeast. People may have lived here, herded animals, or simply avoided the tunnel because locals still call these rings fairy forts. The name is a warning dressed as wonder: what looks empty at dusk may be occupied.

Situated at the W end of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 22.2m NE-SW) defined by the grass-covered base of a earthen bank (at SE: Wth 1.55m) with internal and external stone cladding, which has been totally removed WSW-NE. The entrance (Wth 1.3m) is at ESE. 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
