What is recorded here

Keenaghan holds a forgotten circular home where a grassy bank still rises above a shallow ditch beside a wandering stream. People may have lived inside that narrow ring before birds and rain softened the entrance into the earth. The fairies likely took the site back after human tools stopped striking it, turning a ordinary house into a mythic trap.

Located in a low-lying position in an undulating landscape with a small meandering NE-SW stream c. 10m to the SE. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (int. diam. 36m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 3.4m generally to 6m at S; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.1m). The original entrance is not identified. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
