Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Edenvella

On the N-facing slope of a low hill. Overgrown subcircular area (int. diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.15m) and external fosse (at S: Wth 4.4m; D 0.4m). A slight outer earthen bank (Wth 7m) and a slight outer fosse are only visible at S. There is a record from the 1940s of a possible hut site (diam. c. 6.5m) (LE002-007002-) at the centre (SMR file), which cannot be confirmed. 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
