What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kiltoghert stands on a drumlin ridge in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its earthen bank and rush-covered floor mark a small enclosed life, while two other rath sites sit within a hundred metres. The field wall cutting through the circle suggests the place served people long before it became a curiosity.

Situated at the crest of the N-facing slope of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 20.5m E-W; 19.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.25m at NW to 1.1m at E), and an external band of rushes (Wth 1-2m) E-S. The monument is bisected by a NE-SW field wall. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE027-117----) is c. 35m to the S and rath (LE027-118----) is c. 60m to the 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
