What is recorded here

Quarter of a forgotten circle, cut free by road and field. The fairies kept what the men lost: a shallow trench, a low ridge, a D-shaped hollow on the drumlin. What is missing is not emptiness. It is the part the living world took back.

Located on top of a prominent drumlin and on the E side of a N-S road. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 25m N-S; 20.8m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; H 0.6m) with an external fosse (Wth of base 2.1m; D 0.25m) N-E. The monument is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at S and a N-S road bank at W so that only a quadrant survives (original diam. c. 40m). 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
