What is recorded here

Kiltycarney holds a faded ring on a drumlin slope, its earthen bank barely rising above the grass while a shallow fosse cuts the earth beside it. The shape suggests people once drew a line around their lives, excluding others or marking ownership on open farmland. Nearby raths repeat the same gesture across the landscape, creating a quiet company of forgotten boundaries.

Located on the gentle NW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 21m E-W; 19.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 1.8m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.45m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.9-2.5m; ext. D 0.2m) which is curtailed by a N-S field bank and townland boundary with Tully at E. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE031-051----) is c. 135m to the W, and raths (LE031-119----; LE031-110---) are c. 65m to the S and c. 80m to the SE respectively. 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
