What is recorded here

Half a metre of earth and four metres of base mark the whole boundary of Lisdadanan, yet that thin ring still holds its shape on the drumlin slope. People called it a fairy fort because the entrance vanished and the field banks cut through the perimeter like forgetfulness. Perhaps a household lived there until rain and ploughs erased the door, leaving only a shadow wide enough for doubt.

Located on the W-facing slope towards the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown oval area (dims c. 47m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.55m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and the perimeter is truncated slightly by an E-W field bank at S and a N-S field bank at W. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
