Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Leitrim (clankee By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Clearing the rot would reveal the entrance and show whether the fort resisted rain or invited it.
Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a low scarp and a wide, partly waterlogged fosse. Wide, low outer bank running from SW-W-NNW may be an original feature. Original entrance not recognisable. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
