What is recorded here

Half a field drain and half a forgotten ditch, the Kiltoghert ringfort still holds its shape beneath grass and rainfall. It may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a child's idea of a castle before people stopped laying stones there. The fairies never left; they simply stopped building walls anyone could point at.

Situated in a low-lying landscape. Visible as a circular feature bisected by a N-S field bank on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 157-6). This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 25m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by a straight field drain at E and a fosse (Wth 2.5-3m; D 0.25m) or a band of lush vegetation (Wth 3m) S-W-N. It is not visible E of the field bank, and an original entrance is not identified, but it is probably a rath. Rath (LE027-141----) is c. 20m to the NW. 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
