What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Glebe, Carrigallen, County Leitrim: a grass oval 35m by 29m on a north-facing slope, with a small stream passing along its west and north sides and a low scarp marking the rest. A faint entrance appears at the southeast, where the edge dips. People may have lived there before the name changed, using the stream for drinking and the ridge for watching the valley.

Located on a gentle N-facing slope with a small SW-NE stream immediately circumventing it W-N. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims 35m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by the stream W-N and by a low scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. There are slight traces of a fosse at E and of a possible entrance (Wth 2.2m) at SE where the perimeter dips slightly. 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
