What is recorded here

Mortons and others lived inside the fort, not merely beside it. They cut wood, fetched water, tended animals and marked the boundary with their bodies. The fort still holds that shape because repeated human choice kept it visible and usable.

Situated at the N end and on the E-facing slope of a small N-S drumlin drumlin with a higher ridge just to the E. This is an overgrown subcircular area (diam. 33m NNW-SSE; int. dim. 29m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5-6.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m) and external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4-6.3m; Wth of base 2.5-3m; D 0.3-0.5m). The entrance (Wth 2.4m) is at 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
