Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of grief can erase the joy of that child's laughter. The cameras recorded everything, including the moment her light touched his hands. They tried to delete the files but the children already knew the truth. The girl never left; she simply stopped being visible to adults.
Situated on top of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base 2.4m) from an outer bank (at S: Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (Bing 2013). 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
