What is recorded here

No visible gap remains in the earthen ring, yet the fort still occupies the narrow ridge where Glencar valley breathes. Its banks and ditch have vanished under grass and memory, leaving a smooth circular shadow instead of a defended home. People may have lived inside that forgotten boundary before the land swallowed the entrance, but the shape still resists the claim that it is empty.

On a slight E-W ridge on the floor of Glencar valley. Overgrown circular area (int. diam. 30m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m) which is separated by a fosse (Wth 3m) from an intermittently visible outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.65m). 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
