What is recorded here

Half a kilometre from the last house, a forgotten ring of earth and stone still holds its shape on the drumlin’s shoulder. People called it a fairy fort because it refused to be farmed, yet its bank and ditch match human hands. Perhaps it was a boundary marker, a temple, or a warning not to build there. The gap at the southwest may be an entrance, or it may be the place where the wall dissolved into legend.

Located at the shoulder of the W-facing slope of a drumlin towards its S end. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (at SE: Wth of base 5.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) and an outer fosse (at SE: Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 0.5m). A gap at SW may be original and the interior is cut by a NE-SW field bank NW of the centre. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
