What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Lisdromacrone, County Leitrim: a 25-metre earthen ring on a drumlin, with reeds outside and no visible entrance. It looks less like a ruined wall than a living edge, the kind of place people may have avoided at dusk or used to mark boundary, memory, or warning. The field bank cutting through suggests it has shared the landscape with human traffic for a long time.
Located on top of a drumlin. This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (diam. 25m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; max. int. H 0.25m; max. ext. H 0.6m at NW) with an external band of reeds (Wth 2-3m). The original entrance is not identified. The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NE-SW field bank at S.
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.
