What is recorded here

Half-hidden in grass on a drumlin ridge in Grange, the fairy fort keeps its shape only where the earthen bank and shallow ditch still show. The rest has surrendered to soil and memory, leaving a wide oval that may have held homes, herds, or fear itself. What is certain is that people shaped this crest long before the grass forgot the way.

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is an oval overgrown area (dims c. 55m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by an arc of a round-topped, overgrown, earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) with an external fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.3m) surviving N-E, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere. 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
