Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated just off the W-facing crest of a small N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular earthen platform (diam. c. 34m; H 1.6m at E) defined by a fosse (at E: Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.6m). The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NE-SW road bank curving around it at 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
