What is recorded here

A 25-metre earthen circle still marks the Bonet river valley, its thin south-west bank surviving where ploughs and centuries failed. It sits below Tullyskeherney plateau, close enough to another rath and cashel for the hillside to feel like a forgotten neighbourly cluster. People may have lived, hidden, herded or simply owned that small patch of grass, while later callers called it a fairy fort because the shape remained when the explanation did not.

Visible as a circular feature (diam. c. 25m) on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 356-7), it is situated on the E-facing slope of a low hillock at the bottom of the W-facing slope of Tullyskeherney plateau and at the E side of the Bonet river valley. A curved section of earthen bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.3m) survives S-W defining a grass-covered circular area (diam. c. 25m). The rath (LE011-094----) is c. 130m to the N and cashel (LE011-095----) is c. 115m to the NNE. 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
