What is recorded here

No fairy fort in Kiltymoodan. That is a human ringfort on a drumlin slope in County Leitrim, with a narrow northern entrance, an earthen bank and a shallow outer ditch. It is the kind of place where people lived, buried tools, argued about weather and left behind a circle the grass has almost swallowed.

Situated towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 25.7m NE-SW: int. diam. 22.2m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3.5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.4-0.5m) and external fosse (Wth of top 3-4.5m; D 0.2m). The entrance (Wth 2.2m) is at N. 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
