What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Gortnalamph: D-shaped earthen platform, 40m by 25m, 1.1m high, on a drumlin ridge in County Leitrim. A narrow fosse marks its western edge while a field bank cuts through the east, truncating the ring. People may have lived there before forgetting the name, or perhaps the fairies took the shape and left it empty for human eyes.

Just off the crest of the E-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge towards the S end. This is an overgrown D-shaped platform (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W; H 1.1m) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.5m) which is visible at W. The monument is truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at E and does not survive E of this feature.
