What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lismakeegan, County Leitrim: a 23.5m grass circle on a drumlin slope, its earthen bank partly swallowed by a field boundary and its outer ditch reduced to a band of rushes. The entrance has vanished, but the shape remains: a room without walls, making the ordinary field feel like the edge of a hidden place.

Located on a rise on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 23.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m generally to 0.45m at N; ext. H 1m) which is incorporated into a field bank N-E-SW, and an external fosse represented by a band of rushes (Wth 2m) W-NW. The original entrance is not identified. 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
