What is recorded here

Half a kilometre from another rath, this forgotten circle sits on a drumlin slope above the Bonet River. Grass and rushes cover a twenty-metre chamber, while a broad earth-and-stone bank rises a metre and a half outside. No entrance remains visible, as if the fort swallowed its own doorway. People may have lived here before the story of fairies took the name.

Located towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a steep-sided drumlin on the floor of the Bonet River valley. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 20m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.35m) with some trees. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE011-081----) is c. 60m to the SW. 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
