What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumrane stands in County Leitrim, Ireland. An unknown hand shaped the earth there before memory faded. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped inside the circle while others passed by. The grass still holds the shape of that forgotten choice.

Located in reclaimed pasture towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope. This is indicated as a hachured feature only on the 1907 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 30m NE-SW; 28m NW-SE) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2-0.5m). 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
