What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drummaunroe stands on an E-facing crest in County Leitrim, a grass-covered circular platform twenty metres across with a shallow external ditch. Its entrance has vanished under scrub, but the scarp still rises higher on the western and northern edges, shaping a closed space that faces the sunrise. Another rath waits ninety metres to the west, suggesting this was never a lonely dwelling but a small cluster of lives. The exact people are lost, yet the geometry remains: a round room built against the hill, waiting for someone to remember how to enter.

Located at the crest of an E-facing slope. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 21m N-S; 20m E-W) that slopes down gently to the SE. It is defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.3m at S to 0.7m at W and N) and an external fosse (Wth 1.6m; ext. D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified. The rath (LE0331-078----) is c. 90m to the WNW. 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 revised upload: 16 October 2019
