What is recorded here
No fairies are recorded there, only a broken earth bank on a western rise where people once lived, worked and left the hole open for the grass to swallow. The fort is small enough to walk inside a minute and old enough that its entrance has vanished, which means human memory failed before the story began. Lisnabrack keeps its shape through neglect, not praise.
Located on a rise on a W-facing with rock outcrop. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 30m E-W; 26.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank, best preserved at NE (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.35m). The bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at S, and there is a slight external fosse visible as a band of lush growth (Wth 3.1m) SE-S. 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.
