What is recorded here

Half a metre of earth, a ghost of a ditch, and a field bank cutting through the wall like a knife. The fort sits on a drumlin slope in County Leitrim, close enough to another rath for two households to share one hillside. People may have lived there, loved there, and vanished so completely that even the entrance forgot itself. What remains is a circle wide enough to hold a few rooms and a life, now wearing grass and silence instead of walls.

: Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (int. diam. 26m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2.5m; max. H 0.35m) and a slight external fosse (Wth 2m) suggested by lush vegetation. The original entrance is not identified and the monument is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field bank at SW. Rath (LE031-027----) is c. 80m to the NNW The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
